Hi Sven,
[…] section 11.1 [of the Haskell 2010 Report] explicitly states that all derived operations for Eq and Ord are strict in both arguments.
Good idea to look at the Report. Unfortunately it doesn’t give any reasoning as to *why* this choice was made.
As I said: Consistency. (Well, I didn't write the report, but this seems to be the most obvious reason.)
