What exactly is ``naturally correct'' about this inherited total
ordering? Do you also think  (< (< 0 1) (< 1 0))  should be #t or #f?

If we could compare functions for equality, we could have the return
values be the respective equivalents of <, > and =. Failing that maybe
'<, '> and '= would be appropriate?
