-1 for the class name, too easy to miscount the Es.
And perhaps it would be better to add the IEEE compliant(?) comparisons to
the RealFloat class.
class (RealFrac a, Floating a) => RealFloat a where
... -- lots of stuff we already have
(==.) :: a -> a -> Bool
(<.) :: a -> a -> Bool
...
However, I don't particularly like adding just a dot, that's too easily
overlooked. On the other hand, I don't have a compelling idea either.
(.==.), (.<.) would at least double the chances to spot the difference.
Anyway, +1 for an Ord instance with a total order (consistent with the
natural order where applicable) and putting the IEEE comparisons somewhere
else.
