Or we could just have two arguments, eq= and order=, and some rule so that you only need to specify one or the other but not both. (E.g. order=True implies eq=True.) That seems better than needing new constants just for this flag.

You’d have to disallow the combination order=True, eq=False then, right? Or would you ignore eq for any value of order=True? Seems like a clumsier API than a single tri-value parameter. Do the module constants bother you that much?
