Explanation that fields are being used when deriving `(Partial)Ord` on enums
When deriving `std::cmp::Ord` or `std::cmp::PartialOrd` on enums, their fields are compared if the variants are equal.
This means that the last assertion in the following snipped panics.
```rust
use std::cmp::{PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord};
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum Sizes {
Small(usize),
Big(usize),
}
fn main() {
let a = Sizes::Big(3);
let b = Sizes::Big(5);
let c = Sizes::Small(10);
assert!( c < a);
assert_eq!(a, c);
}
```
This is more often expected behavior than not, and can be easily circumvented, as discussed in [this thread](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/how-to-sort-enum-variants/52291/4).
But it is addressed nowhere in the documentation, yet.
So I stumbled across this, as I personally did not expect fields being used in `PartialOrd`.
I added the explanation to the documentation.
