[IronPython] Singles not comparing properly

Also note that:

>>> 5.0 <= s <= 500.0
True
>>> 5.0 <= d <= 500.0
True

Subject: [IronPython] Singles not comparing properly

Hi guys -

We encountered a strange bug today, which we eventually worked out was
being caused by the fact that a number we thought was a float (a Double)
was actually a Single. The problem was this:

 >>> from System import Double, Single
 >>> d = Double(8.0)
 >>> d
8.0
 >>> 5 <= d <= 500
True
 >>> s = Single(8.0)
 >>> s
8.0
 >>> 5 <= s <= 500
False

There's no real analogue to this in CPython, but it feels like Single
and Double should behave the same here. Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Christian
