I do believe that's quite intentional, due to the inexactness of floating-point values, it's not "right" to do that. There should be a `partial_min` function though, IMO, which has weaker guarantees.

It's absolutely intentional, and it's got being technically correct on its side, it's just frustrating.

Not really. That Rust forced total order and partial order into a sub-typing relation is a completely unnecessary, self-inflicted wound.

Many folks do consider this a mistake. Some do still think it was the right call. I'd say it's very unclear.
