+-- | The 'Ord' class is used for totally ordered datatypes.
+--
+-- Instances of 'Ord' can be derived for any user-defined
+-- datatype whose constituent types are in 'Ord'. The declared order
+-- of the constructors in the data declaration determines the ordering
+-- in derived 'Ord' instances. The 'Ordering' datatype allows a single
+-- comparison to determine the precise ordering of two objects.

+-- Minimal complete definition: either 'compare' or '<='.
+-- Using 'compare' can be more efficient for complex types.
