Hi Chris,
Thanks for bringing this idea to the list.
Is NSDate really the only thing that we want to conform to comparable, or is
there a set of classes which should do so? I’d like to think about the larger
set of consequences here (and if possible, deal with one coherent answer for
all of Foundation rather than do these classes one at a time).
