He explicitly restricted himself to not invoking "double-underscore
magic." You can certainly make classes which don't constitute a
well-ordering, and you can certainly get bizarre behavior by relying on
the (arbitrary) ordering between types, but the only thing I'd be
worried about is such a circular ordering between types in the same
class.

I do like your example, however :-).
