Denotational equality for floating point numbers, checks bitwise equality.

NOTE: Denotational equality distinguishes NaNs, so its results may vary depending on the architecture and compilation flags. Unfortunately, this is a problem with floating-point numbers in general.

I guess "denotational orderings" are now a thing? The point is that we need an Ord instance which provides a total ordering, and is consistent with the denotational equality.

NOTE: The ordering induced via doubleToWord64 is total, and is consistent with doubleDenotEq. However, it is *deeply* unintuitive. For one, it considers all negative numbers to be larger than positive numbers.
