          Issue ID: 19412
           Summary: std.algorithm.cmp with default ordering can use memcmp
                    for all unsigned types that are big-endian or have
                    size 1 (instead of just char)

            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement

Currently memcmp is just used for char[], but it can logically be used for any
unsigned type that either has a size of 1 byte or is big-endian. This applies
only when the default ordering is used.
