If you're looking for a consistant but nonsense way of comparing tuples,
you could compare them as tuples of floats. A < B if A.real < B.real ||
(A.real == B.real && A.imag < B.imag).

Not very good mathematics, but then mathematicians don't try to do that.
:-) It certainly doesn't make any *less* sense than "foo" < 27.
