That doesn't solve the whole problem, because std.math.cmp isn't
the default comparator you can't use a totally ordered float type
as a drop-in for the builtin float types.
A more interesting question it bring up though is:
does the approach of imposing a (somewhat arbitrary) total order
work for other types where you would normally use a less "strict"
ordering? Does it work well for missing data representations?
