Groovy doesn't allow you to overload comparison operators individually, 
and probably most JVM languages likewise. This is to retain compatibility 
with Java, which has `.compareTo()` instead of `isLessThan()` etc.

Ruby allows you to override individual comparison operators, with a 
special operator `<=>` for combined comparisons. Nim lets you overload 
arbitrary operators and create your own; some old discussions suggest 
that the Comparable type is based on `<` alone.
