D's two-way "less than" comparisons.

Any takers?

Looks really simple. I could try? Though I'll probably come 
asking here about contribution procedures and stuff (especially 
that I can't, not possibly, compile Phobos or anything close to 
it with tests and such).

If you're on Linux, OSX or FreeBSD this should help you get 
started:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Starting_as_a_Contributor

On Windows the part about `git` is the same, however I'm not sure 
about the additional tools like `make`. I would try getting them 
using `msys2`'s `pacman` package manager, though maybe the `make` 
distributed with DMC/DMD is specifically needed for DMD, phobos 
and druntime. This was written in more detail here:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD, however I'm not sure if the 
information is up to date.

Anyway, here you can find a good overview of the procedures (i.e. 
making Pull Requests on github):

Xinok got ahead, but don't let that deter you. I'll post here other 
similar simple yet interesting tasks, and I encourage others to do the 
same. -- Andrei
