I am using QVariant comparison (==, >, <) only for equal types. But not in models. I use
it for other code. 

I also use QMaps of QVariants, but also not for mixed types, only for equal types.

So I need ==, <, > for equal types, including custom types. 

My preferred solution for error handling wouldn't be a fall back to "return false" but a
call to qFatal (or at least qWarning).
