 *  The <code>Comparable</code> mixin is used by classes whose objects
 *  may be ordered. The class must define the <code><=></code> operator,
 *  which compares the receiver against another object, returning -1, 0,
 *  or +1 depending on whether the receiver is less than, equal to, or
 *  greater than the other object. If the other object is not comparable
 *  then the <code><=></code> operator should return nil.
 *  <code>Comparable</code> uses
 *  <code><=></code> to implement the conventional comparison operators
 *  (<code><</code>, <code><=</code>, <code>==</code>, <code>>=</code>,
 *  and <code>></code>) and the method <code>between?</code>.
