Comment:

 In Python 3, "greater than" etc. comparisons between objects where no
 natural ordering exist are supposed to raise a "TypeError"

 Already, comparing complex numbers in Python 2.6.2 raises
 {{{TypeError: no ordering relation is defined for complex numbers}}}

 Changing this will probably lead to even more doctest failures, but brings
 us closer to Python's way of doing things and to mathematical sanity.
