/**
 * {1 About this module}
 *
 * A total order on elements of a given type.
 *
 * Total orders are characterized both by the type of elements they can order
 * and by an additional type label which may be used to ensure that two
 * orderings on elements of the same type cannot be confused.
 *
 * For instance, it is possible to define three totally incompatible orderings on strings,
 * one which differentiates between uppercase and lowercase ([String.order]),
 * one which mixes uppercase and lowercase ([String.order_ci]) and one which attempts to
 * interpret numbers embedded in texts ([String.order_natural]). If we define
 * a set to which we add elements "hello 1", "Hello 1" and "Hello 01", three
 * behaviors are possible: if the set has been defined with [String.order],
 * the result will contain 3 elements; if the set has been defined with [String.order_ci],
 * the result will contain 2 elements; if the set has been defined with [String.order_natural],
 * the result will contain only 1 element.
 *
 * To ensure that the three orderings cannot be confused, hence resulting in unspecified
 * set contents, the sets defined from these distinct orders have different types, respectively
 * [set(string, {String.order})], [set(string, {String.order_ci})] and [set(string, {String.order_natural})].
 *
 * @param 'item  The type of elements compared
 * @param 'label A label used to differentiate incompatible orderings
 * on elements of the same type.
 *
 * {1 Where should I start ?}
 *
 * {1 What if I need more?}
