Comment #7 on issue 1878 by asmeurer: For non-commutative symbols all comparisons evaluate to False
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1878

But once you say a > b, that implies that a - b > 0, or in other words, a - b is "positive", at least in the sence that it is in a positive subring. In that case, elements of the inverse subring are usually called negative. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially-ordered_ring.

So I guess it depends on what is meant by .is_negative. If that assumption implies is_real, then of course we don't want it here. But I think assuming negativity is key for inequalities, so maybe it should be separate
somehow.
