This adds a new operator "(expr) <=> (expr)" that returns 0 if both
operands are equal, 1 if the left is greater, and -1 if the right is

It works with all types (just as well as <, <=, >=, > work) and is great
for usort() callbacks for example.


It's useful and cool, and adds an awesome new operator name ((T_SPACESHIP <=> T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM) === 1), but would it be used often enough to justify addition?
