/**
* A utility for performing a chained comparison statement. For example:
* {@code
*
* public int compareTo(Foo that) {
* return ComparisonChain.start()
* .compare(this.aString, that.aString)
* .compare(this.anInt, that.anInt)
* .compare(this.anEnum, that.anEnum, Ordering.natural().nullsLast())
* .result();
* }}
*
* The value of this expression will have the same sign as the first
* nonzero comparison result in the chain, or will be zero if every
* comparison result was zero.
*
*
Performance note: Even though the {@code ComparisonChain} caller always
* invokes its {@code compare} methods unconditionally, the {@code
* ComparisonChain} implementation stops calling its inputs' {@link
* Comparable#compareTo compareTo} and {@link Comparator#compare compare}
* methods as soon as one of them returns a nonzero result. This optimization is
* typically important only in the presence of expensive {@code compareTo} and
* {@code compare} implementations.
*
*
See the Guava User Guide article on
* {@code ComparisonChain}.
