Re: Can opCmp return a 'long' instead of 'int'?

Timon Gehr:

    assert(S(1)<S(2)); // passes. ok.
    assert(S(int.min)>S(int.max)); // passes. oops.

A possible solution is to add to Phobos (unless it's already 
there) a variadic templated funcion cmpBuilder() that accepts an 
even number of arguments, that are seen as pairs. Usage example:

struct Foo {
  int x, y;
  string s;
  int opCmp(in ref Foo r) {
    return cmpBuilder(x, r.x, y.abs, r.y.abs, s, r.s);
  }
}

Is this worth adding to Phobos?
