Previously it would call:
f(sf1.cmp(&of1), f(sf2.cmp(&of2), ...))
(where s/of1 = 'self/other field 1', and f was
std::cmp::lexical_ordering)
This meant that every .cmp subcall got evaluated when calling a derived
TotalOrd.cmp.
This corrects this to use
let test = sf1.cmp(&of1);
if test == Equal {
let test = sf2.cmp(&of2);
if test == Equal {
// ...
} else {
test
}
} else {
test
}
This gives a lexical ordering by short-circuiting on the first comparison
that is not Equal.
