Why not consider them as equal, it's simple and is basically telling
people not to rely on them because one day A might be lower than B and
the other day, A and B that hasn't been modified at all might switch
sides without warning.

Or you could just use any arbitrary way of comparison (Python Zen: In
the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.).
