max does not return maximum yearmonth from passed arguments

[Fuco1]

Taking a max of two yearmonths, the smaller (earlier) is returned.

> max(yearmonth('2017-01-01'), yearmonth('2018-04-01'))
<yearmonth[1]>
[1] "2017 Jan"

However, taking a max of two date objects, the bigger (later) is correctly returned.

> max(as.Date('2017-01-01'), as.Date('2018-04-01'))
[1] "2018-04-01"

I see. I suppose we can close this issue then, unless you want to use it as a soft pressure device for the upstream :D Thanks for the heads up!
