>   This makes it possible to define types with partial orderings.

Guido's time machine is working again, and seems now to have been
augmented by telepathy.  I was just thinking about bugging him about
this...

I will definitely check this out with my set() class -- it was waiting on
rich comparisons so I could do partial-orderings properly.  If it works,
we'll have set algebra for the standard library.  Coolness.

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies
to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule--and
both commonly succeed, and are right... The United States
has never developed an aristocracy really disinterested or an
intelligentsia really intelligent. Its history is simply a record
of vacillations between two gangs of frauds.
