Comment (by wluebbe):

 I do not think that it is //always// the right approach to solve the
 easier problems before the hard ones.

 We have done this with good reason for stage 1 (#15980). But the
 completion of stage 1 has to precede the completion of stage 2. And now we
 have the hard problems that remain in stage 1!

 I think that stage 2 (#16052) could use a tool like
 https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future to good effect.
 Clearly this does not prevent us from solving some of the problems (added
 originally to stage 2) in a stage 1 style (as was possible for
 {{{filter}}} and {{{reduce}}}, and I think it is also possible for
 {{{map}}} #16073!).

 But we should try to complete stage 1 as soon as possible: if we cannot
 solve those remaining hard problems then Sage will not available under
 Python 3.

 Anyway I will have a look at #16529 ;-)
 And I will try to grok the //rich comparison// stuff - it is difficult and
 but it is also necessary!
