/**
 * A utility for performing a chained comparison statement. For example:
 *
 * {@snippet :
 * 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();
 * }
 * }
 *
 * <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><b>Note:</b> {@code ComparisonChain} instances are <b>immutable</b>. For this utility to work
 * correctly, calls must be chained as illustrated above.
 *
 * <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=
 * "https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/CommonObjectUtilitiesExplained#comparecompareto">{@code
 * ComparisonChain}</a>.
 *
 * <h4 id="java8">Java 8+ equivalents</h4>
 *
 * If you are using Java version 8 or greater, you should generally use the static methods in {@link
 * Comparator} instead of {@code ComparisonChain}. The example above can be implemented like this:
 *
 * {@snippet :
 * import static java.util.Comparator.comparing;
 * import static java.util.Comparator.nullsLast;
 * import static java.util.Comparator.naturalOrder;
 *
 * ...
 *   private static final Comparator<Foo> COMPARATOR =
 *       comparing((Foo foo) -> foo.aString)
 *           .thenComparing(foo -> foo.anInt)
 *           .thenComparing(foo -> foo.anEnum, nullsLast(naturalOrder()));
 *
 *   @Override
 *   public int compareTo(Foo that) {
 *     return COMPARATOR.compare(this, that);
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * <p>With method references it is more succinct: {@code comparing(Foo::aString)} for example.
 *
 * <p>Using {@link Comparator} avoids certain types of bugs, for example when you meant to write
 * {@code .compare(a.foo, b.foo)} but you actually wrote {@code .compare(a.foo, a.foo)} or {@code
 * .compare(a.foo, b.bar)}. {@code ComparisonChain} also has a potential performance problem that
 * {@code Comparator} doesn't: it evaluates all the parameters of all the {@code .compare} calls,
 * even when the result of the comparison is already known from previous {@code .compare} calls.
 * That can be expensive.
