/**
 * A utility for performing a chained comparison statement. For example:
 * <pre>   {@code
 *
 *   public int compareTo(Foo that) {
 *     return ComparisonChain.start()
 *         .compare(this.aString, that.aString)
 *         .compare(this.anInt, that.anInt)
 *         .compare(this.anEnum, that.anEnum, Ordering.natural().nullsLast())
 *         .result();
 *   }}</pre>
 *
 * <p>The value of this expression will have the same sign as the <i>first
 * nonzero</i> comparison result in the chain, or will be zero if every
 * comparison result was zero.
 *
 * <p>Performance note: Even though the {@code ComparisonChain} caller always
 * invokes its {@code compare} methods unconditionally, the {@code
 * ComparisonChain} implementation stops calling its inputs' {@link
 * Comparable#compareTo compareTo} and {@link Comparator#compare compare}
 * methods as soon as one of them returns a nonzero result. This optimization is
 * typically important only in the presence of expensive {@code compareTo} and
 * {@code compare} implementations.
 *
 * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href=
 * "http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/wiki/CommonObjectUtilitiesExplained#compare/compareTo">
 * {@code ComparisonChain}</a>.
