Note that this lacks the above `Ordering` declaration. Doing so would override
the one from the standard library (and cause problems since we haven't yet
shown you how to implement equality checking). A list of all things
automatically imported can be found [here]
(http://doc.rust-lang.org/std/prelude/index.html).

`cmp` is a function that compares two things, and returns an `Ordering`. We
return either `Less`, `Greater`, or `Equal`, depending on if the two values
are greater, less, or equal.
