implicit def ordered[A](implicit asComparable: () => A): Ordering[A]

This would conflict with all the nice implicit Orderings available, but thanks to the magic of prioritized implicits via subclassing we can make Ordered[A] => Ordering[A] only turn up if nothing else works. Since Ordered[A] extends Comparable[A] anyway, we can throw in some Java interop too.
