-------------------------------------------------------------
The problem with Comparable interface is that its generic nature implies the
signature is compareTo(Object) which does not help disambiguate the call. The
workaround is to implement your own 'public int compare(MyClass lhs, String
rhs)' - or any signature you need to disambiguate - in your own derived
arithmetic.

> Make Comparable object high priority while comparing

>
> I defined a Class with implemented Comparable interface, when compare it with
> a string object, engine does not call the compareTo method but compares by
> string value.
>
> At JexlArithmetic.java L787, if one of the left/right value is string type,
> then compares by string value, I think if the left value is Comparable and
> not String type, using left object's compareTo method first makes more sense.
> Thanks!
