Subject: [ruby-core:40751] [ruby-trunk - Feature #5574][Open] Make arrays comparable


Issue #5574 has been reported by Arnau Sanchez.

----------------------------------------
Feature #5574: Make arrays comparable
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5574

Author: Arnau Sanchez

Why are arrays not comparable? _Array_ already defines _<=>_, so it seems only natural to mix-in the _Comparable_ module.

<pre>
> [1, 2] < [1, 1] 
NoMethodError: undefined method `<' for [1, 2]:Array

> Array.send(:include, Comparable)
> [1, 2] < [1, 1] 
=> false
</pre>

This was already discussed in the mailing list a while ago and people agreed it would be useful:
