Hello, Today I was trying to use `total_ordering` for the first time. I was expecting that in order to implement e.g. `x > y` it would do `not x < y and not x == y`, assuming that `__lt__` and `__eq__` are defined. But I see it just does `y < x`, which is problematic. For example if you have a class that is decorated by `total_ordering`, and implements only `__lt__` and `__eq__`, then trying to do `x < y` will result in infinite recursion.
Why not have `total_ordering` work in the way I suggested? Ram.
