Re: RFC: Comparable interface

Hi!

* The current behavior for>,<, etc. is completely useless. It's unpredictable and it doesn't even establish a total order: $a = new stdclass; $a->prop = null; $b = new stdclass; $b->prop2 = null; var_dump($a> $b); //false var_dump($a == $b); //false var_dump($b> $a); //false

That's because there's no total ordering of generic objects that can make sense. Only very specific objects - such as ones representing numeric qualities or having numeric properties - can be ordered, most of objects are unordered. And comparing objects with scalars automagically might bring a lot of surprises as nobody really expects $a == $b and $b == $a to be different now. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
