body: The <tt>Comparable</tt> mixin is used by classes whose objects may be ordered. The class must define the <tt><=></tt> 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. <tt>Comparable</tt> uses <tt><=></tt> to implement the conventional comparison operators (<tt><</tt>, <tt><=</tt>, <tt>==</tt>, <tt>>=</tt>, and <tt>></tt>) and the method <tt>between?</tt>.
