+/// ## Lexicographical comparison
+///
+/// Lexicographical comparison is an operation with the following properties:
+///  - Two sequences are compared element by element.
+///  - The first mismatching element defines which sequence is lexicographically less or greater than the other.
+///  - If one sequence is a prefix of another, the shorter sequence is lexicographically less than the other.
+///  - If two sequence have equivalent elements and are of the same length, then the sequences are lexicographically equal.
+///  - An empty sequence is lexicographically less than any non-empty sequence.
+///  - Two empty sequences are lexicographically equal.
+///
 /// ## How can I implement `Ord`?
 ///
 /// `Ord` requires that the type also be [`PartialOrd`] and [`Eq`] (which requires [`PartialEq`]).
