How about these adjustments to the wording?
"comparisons" -> "Eq and Ord class methods",
to cover min and max, which are slightly more than just
comparisons
"all arguments" -> "both arguments",
because I initially misunderstood it as "all arguments of both
constructors" and started fretting that it would break existing
programs
