According to the docstring compare returns -1, 0 or 1: user=> (compare \b \g) -5
We could fix the doc along the lines of:"Comparator. Returns a negative number, zero, or a positive number when x is logically 'less than', 'equal to', or 'greater than' y. Same as Java x.compareTo(y) except it also works for nil, and compares numbers and collections in a type-independent manner. x must implement Comparable"
or fix the implementation to conform to the current doc.My current thought is that we should fix the implementation and make a minor mod to the doc to replace "Same as" with something like "Works like" because compareTo only guarantees the sign of the return value.
Other thoughts? --Steve
