INTVAL compare(STRING, STRING)
Compares the two strings. Returns 1 if the left side is lexically greater, -1 if the right side is lexically greater, and 0 if they're the same. Currently this is in the charset vtable, but that might change later to allow locale overrides. (It'll be hidden behind the string.c API at least, so that'll be transparent to bytecode)
