Re: [Pharo-project] Magnitude should be reimplemented as a Trait

I'm not comfortable with English, but to me Magnitude is about ordering rather than just comparing. I expect a TOrderable to describe a fully or partially ordered set. If you define this, then it is a fully ordered set: <= aMagnitude     ^(self > aMagnitude) not

Beware, due to introduction of NaN, Float is not fully ordered, this require overriding above message in Number.

Comparable has parallels in other languages like Java and C#'s Comparable and IComparable interfaces. Also, one of its categories is "comparing."
