/**
* Compares the first number to the second one numerically and
* returns an integer depending on the comparison result:
* a negative value if the first number is the smaller one,
* a zero value if they are equal, and
* a positive value if the first number is the larger one.
*
* The main strategy goes like follows:
* 1. If one of the arguments is <code>null</code> or 'not a number',
* throw an exception.
* 2. If both values are 'long compatible', compare their <code>longValue()</code>
* using the usual comparison operators for primitive types (<, ==, >).
* 3. If both values are 'double compatible', compare their <code>doubleValue()</code>
* using the usual comparison operators for primitive types (<, ==, >).
* 4. If one of the values is infinite (and the other is finite),
* determine the result depending on the sign of the infinite value.
* 5. Otherwise convert both values to <code>java.math.BigDecimal</code> and
* return the result of the <code>BigDecimal.compareTo(BigDecimal)</code> method.
*
* As a consequence, the method is not suitable to implement a
* <code>java.util.Comparator</code> for numbers. To achieve this,
* one had to accept 'not a number' arguments and place them somewhere
* in the row of numbers (probably at the upper end, i.e. larger than
* positive infinity, as <code>Double.compare(double, double)</code>
* does it).
* So the behavior of this method is like that of the comparison
* operator for primitive types and not like that of the related
* <code>compareTo(...)</code> methods. Besides the handling of
* 'not a number' values this makes a difference, when comparing
* the float or double values <code>-0.0</code> and <code>0.0</code>:
* again, like the operators, we consider them as equal (whereas
* according to <code>Double.compareTo(...)</code> <code>-0.0</code>
* is less than <code>0.0</code>).
*
* @param first
* @param second
* @return int
* @throws ArithmeticException One or both of the given numbers is <code>null</code> or 'not a number'.
