/**
 * A comparator, with additional methods to support common operations. This is an "enriched" version
 * of {@code Comparator} for pre-Java-8 users, in the same sense that {@link FluentIterable} is an
 * enriched {@link Iterable} for pre-Java-8 users.
 *
 * 
Three types of methods

 *
 * Like other fluent types, there are three types of methods present: methods for acquiring,
 * chaining, and using.
 *
 * 
Acquiring

 *
 * 
The common ways to get an instance of {@code Ordering} are:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  • Subclass it and implement {@link #compare} instead of implementing {@link Comparator}
 *       directly
 *   
  • Pass a pre-existing {@link Comparator} instance to {@link #from(Comparator)}
 *   
  • Use the natural ordering, {@link Ordering#natural}
 * 

 *
 * 
Chaining

 *
 * 
Then you can use the chaining methods to get an altered version of that {@code
 * Ordering}, including:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  • {@link #reverse}
 *   
  • {@link #compound(Comparator)}
 *   
  • {@link #onResultOf(Function)}
 *   
  • {@link #nullsFirst} / {@link #nullsLast}
 * 

 *
 * 
Using

 *
 * 
Finally, use the resulting {@code Ordering} anywhere a {@link Comparator} is required, or use
 * any of its special operations, such as:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  • {@link #immutableSortedCopy}
 *   
  • {@link #isOrdered} / {@link #isStrictlyOrdered}
 *   
  • {@link #min} / {@link #max}
 * 

 *
 * 
Understanding complex orderings

 *
 * 
Complex chained orderings like the following example can be challenging to understand.
 *
 * 
{@code
 * Ordering ordering =
 *     Ordering.natural()
 *         .nullsFirst()
 *         .onResultOf(getBarFunction)
 *         .nullsLast();
 * }

 *
 * Note that each chaining method returns a new ordering instance which is backed by the previous
 * instance, but has the chance to act on values before handing off to that backing instance.
 * As a result, it usually helps to read chained ordering expressions backwards. For example,
 * when {@code compare} is called on the above ordering:
 *
 * 
    
 *   
  1. First, if only one {@code Foo} is null, that null value is treated as greater
 *   
  2. Next, non-null {@code Foo} values are passed to {@code getBarFunction} (we will be
 *       comparing {@code Bar} values from now on)
 *   
  3. Next, if only one {@code Bar} is null, that null value is treated as lesser
 *   
  4. Finally, natural ordering is used (i.e. the result of {@code Bar.compareTo(Bar)} is
 *       returned)
 * 

 *
 * 
Alas, {@link #reverse} is a little different. As you read backwards through a chain and
 * encounter a call to {@code reverse}, continue working backwards until a result is determined, and
 * then reverse that result.
 *
 * 
Additional notes

 *
 * 
Except as noted, the orderings returned by the factory methods of this class are serializable
 * if and only if the provided instances that back them are. For example, if {@code ordering} and
 * {@code function} can themselves be serialized, then {@code ordering.onResultOf(function)} can as
 * well.
 *
 * 
For Java 8 users

 *
 * 
If you are using Java 8, this class is now obsolete. Most of its functionality is now provided
 * by {@link java.util.stream.Stream Stream} and by {@link Comparator} itself, and the rest can now
 * be found as static methods in our new {@link Comparators} class. See each method below for
 * further instructions. Whenever possible, you should change any references of type {@code
 * Ordering} to be of type {@code Comparator} instead. However, at this time we have no plan to
 * deprecate this class.
 *
 * 
Many replacements involve adopting {@code Stream}, and these changes can sometimes make your
 * code verbose. Whenever following this advice, you should check whether {@code Stream} could be
 * adopted more comprehensively in your code; the end result may be quite a bit simpler.
 *
