Comment (by nbruin):
How about `a<2`, `2<a` then? Do you want the same there? That would give
an infinite recursion.
In python, the meaning of comparison is in the hands of the left hand
side. In general, you shouldn't expect any consistency when applying
comparisons between unrelated objects. If you want to cooperate with sage
objects, you'll probably have to support coercion.
