Closes #2089

This adds __lt__, __le__, __eq__, __ne__, __gt__, and __ge__ as per the Python implementations of what we call __richcmp__.

There's a UI test confirming that the user cannot implement split forms and __richcmp__ simultaneously.

There's also a benchmark comparing implementing these split methods against using __richcmp__. I couldn't see a meaningful performance difference, so I'm tempted to deprecate __richcmp__, given that's not a magic method which exists in Python. Potentially we can provide options such as the opt-in #[pyclass(eq, ord)] to avoid boilerplate for people who don't want to implement six different methods.

As the new behavior may break users who were attempting to use __eq__ etc unsuccessfully (unknowingly) this is a 0.20 feature.

I think this should happen only when that boiler plate reduction is in place.

Completely agree. This PR is intended to be an addition only. I'd propose to then work on the opt-in implementation of eq and ord, and then deprecate __richcmp__ as a final step.

(Pushed the wording adjustment as a new commit, when we're happy with what's going on here I'll squash.)

3203: support ordering magic methods for `#[pyclass]` r=adamreichold a=davidhewitt

Closes #2089 

This adds `__lt__`, `__le__`, `__eq__`, `__ne__`, `__gt__`, and `__ge__` as per the Python implementations of what we call `__richcmp__`.

There's a UI test confirming that the user cannot implement split forms and `__richcmp__` simultaneously.

There's also a benchmark comparing implementing these split methods against using `__richcmp__`. I couldn't see a meaningful performance difference, so I'm tempted to deprecate `__richcmp__`, given that's not a magic method which exists in Python. Potentially we can provide options such as the opt-in `#[pyclass(eq, ord)]` to avoid boilerplate for people who don't want to implement six different methods.
