Description

See RRFI [Draft]: Equality and Order Relations Interface

This issue is splintered off from #16 to contain discussion on issues that pertain to generic order relations specifically (e.g. generic interfaces like the proposed gen:orderable, conventions for order-related APIs). The other one will continue to be used for equality-oriented discussion. The composite relations <= and >= and any attendant discussion around the relationship between order and equality could be carried on in either issue as the discussion warrants.
