[bug] Number comparisons not transitive

Issue status update for

Post a follow up:
http://smalltalk.gnu.org/project/comments/add/275

 Project:      GNU Smalltalk
 Version:      <none>
 Component:    Base classes
 Category:     bug reports
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Unassigned
 Reported by:  bonzinip

See http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=3374

 a := 16rFFFFFFFFFFFFF81.
 b := 16rFFFFFFFFFFFFF82.
 c := a asFloat.
 {a = b.
  a = c.
  b = c.}

gives

(false true true )

(should all be false).

To fix this one would need to define a separate generality for
comparisons and arithmetic, and adjust hashes similarly.
