> That does seem odd -- how can you have 'b' of something?

Don't ask this kind of question as long as any math guys are listening.

But seriously, I consider this proposal reasonable. If the problem is that the counter values can be non-integers, then why not just raise an exception if someone tries to test the ordering with illegal (i.e. unordered or uncomparable) values? Data quality issues are best handled on user side.
