OrderRelation

Provides an ordering relation for a given value-type.

Does supports an epsilon parameter (measure of accuracy), which has different meaning, depending on context

Numbers: accuracy is usually given as number eg. 1E-12 - in case of integers should default to 0
Dates (temporal): accuracy is usually given as a number of days - should default to 0
Times (temporal): accuracy is usually given as a number of seconds - eg. 1E-3 for millisecond resolution
