Of the three classes, HepAxisAngle has a natural meaning for ordering comparisons,
taking advantage of the ordering relation already available for the UnitVector axes:

(158) |
For Rotation, we use the ordering induced by its HepAxisAngle expression:

(159) |
Extracting the HepAxisAngle corresponding to a HepRotation is a fairly simple task.
However, for testing equality or inequality, the package uses the even
easier method of element-by-element equality checking.
For HepEulerAngles, rather than laboriously going over to HepRotations and then using the
induced HepAxisAngle comparison, we adapt simple dictionary ordering:
