It was to have the same behavior as doubles, but I see your point.
That's an implementation detail, not the behavior expected in the domain
(actually, Money shouldn't use a floating-point number at all---we
should store an integer number of cents---but that's for another time.)
I wonder if one should go all the way and compare after rounding?
Thoughts?
