I've been writing a program that requires the use of java.util.Calendar and
its descendent java.util.GregorianCalendar. One thing I'd hoped to do was
compare two Calendar objects with <, but the compiler complained that the
arguments to < didn't inherit from Number which was a surprise to me because
Calendar does inherit from java.lang.Comparable which in java land would be
sufficient to enable it to be compared with other members of its class using
the built in java comparison operators. Since I know that clojure has other
operations that deal with comparable, I assume this is a conscious decision,
but I question why it should be so.

Regards,
Bill
