Hi,
This is a change set regarding Comparator already in lambda repo, it
depends on the CR#8001634, particularly the Function SAMs.
It implements proposed extension methods on Comparator
(reverse and compose) as well as static combinator methods in
Comparators for things like turning a T -> {Comparable,int,long,double}
into a Comparator<T>.
This allows things like:
people.sort(Comparators.comparing(Person::getName))
Comparator<Person> byLastFirst
= Comparators.comparing(Person::getLastName)
.compose(Comparators.comparing(Person::getFirstName))
Please review and comment on the webrev[1].
