When we added `ResourceQuantities`, we wanted to support two use cases:

```
guarantees: absent == 0    (i.e. zero_by_default)
    limits: absent == +inf (i.e. inf_by_default)
```

This is why zeros are currently stored (unlike `Resources` objects, where they 
are removed): having the ability to distinguish between 0 and absent allows us 
to support both use cases. However, the introduction of equality and 
containment operations are not so obvious:

```
   equality: the approach in this patch is providing inf_by_default equality 
semantics AFAICT
containment: the approach in the subsequent patch is providing neither 
zero_by_default or inf_by_default equality semantics
```

I think that in order to introduce equality and containment, we may have to 
address some earlier feedback on `ResourceQuantities`, which was to require a 
contruction-time choice between `ZERO_BY_DEFAULT` and `INF_BY_DEFAULT` 
semantics. This would be stored as a variable in order to determine (1) whether 
to store zeros, (2) how to evaluate equality and containment between two 
quantities.

Thoughts?
