Probably because it can't. I'm not completely up-to-date with the Numeric
inheritance chain, but I guess for instance Complex numbers also inherit from
Numeric. Being Numeric doesn't necessarily mean that there is a meaningful
order among the objects.

Then again, I'm out on a limb here, and may be completely wrong.
