66.6 can be both explicitly converted to an int and compared to one.

>>> int(66.6)
66
>>> 12 < 66.6
True
>>> 66.6 < 12
False

It's a good thing that 66.6 won't be implicitly converted to an int
since that would lose precision.

However, you're right that IronPython doesn't handle this correctly for
sorting an array.  We already have one bug for sorting mixed-type arrays
(bug #63) but it's nice to add this case as well to the set we need to
fix.
