Comment:

 Nicolas T. and I somewhat came across the second point in working on
 #13605. In particular, I have changed `Partition` to inherit from
 `Element`, use the rich comparisons, and removed the `__cmp__()` method.
 Thus calling things like
 {{{
 sage: sorted(Partitions(5), cmp)
 }}}
 raise the "BUG - comparsion not implemented" exception. This holds for any
 subclass of `Element` which does not implement a `__cmp__()` and does not
 fall back on the rich comparisons as regular python objects would.
