 * In other words:
 *
 *   * It's irreflexive: For all `a` it holds that `a.compare_to(a) == 0`
 *   * It's transitive: For all `a`, `b` and `c` if `a.compare_to(b) < 0` and
 *     `b.compare_to(c) < 0` then `a.compare_to(c) < 0`.
 *   * It's trichotomous: For all `a` and `b` it holds that
 *     `a.compare_to(b) = -b.compare_to(a)`.
 *
 * Note: The relationship must be immutable. In other words if at one point of
 *   program `a.compare_to(b)` had certain value then call `a.compare_to(b)`
 *   //must always// return the original value until end of `a` and `b` lifetime.
