/**
 * @summary Compare two `AuthenticationLevel`s having alternative `basicLevels`
 * @description
 *
 * The way this function is expected to be used is such that `a` would be a
 * threshold authentication level required for some permission, `b` would be the
 * user's actual authentication level, and this function would return `true` if
 * the requirements for authentication were NOT met--in other words, that the
 * user's actual authentication level, `b`, did not meet or exceed the
 * threshold, `a`.
 *
 * @param a An authentication level (usually a criterion)
 * @param b An authentication level (usually a user's actual authentication level)
 * @returns Returns `true` if `a > b`. `false` otherwise.
 *
 * @function
