   * 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 (&lt;, ==, &gt;).
   * 3. If both values are 'double compatible', compare their <code>doubleValue()</code>
   *    using the usual comparison operators for primitive types (&lt;, ==, &gt;).
   * 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'.
