I applied this three-patch set. I left the argument order as you originally specified it, and I added support for a 2-argument form that provides a trivial equality as above. Maybe it's weird but I think it might be useful. The one change I made is changing the name of the function from "compare" to "intcmp": I felt "compare" was too generic. Sometime we may want to introduce other types of comparison such as "strcmp" etc. Let me know what you think about this: I've only applied it to my local Git repository but not pushed it yet.
