Feature #5899
closedchaining comparsions.
Description
Migration from python to ruby is problematic because ruby lacks certain features.
Most important python advantage is chained comparison
We must wrap every comparison like described below.
puts "yes" if 1<2<3<4
class Fixnum
def <(a)
((self<=>a)==-1)&&a
end
end
class FalseClass
def <(a)
false
end
end

What is a good way to do chained comparison in Ruby?
My best attempt, so far, is
[1, 2, 3, 4].each_cons(2).all? {|a, b| a < b}

I don't think changing "1 < b < 4
" to "1 < b && b < 4
" is that hard task.
I am not sure it's worth allowing confusing "false < 4
".

Writing 1 < b && b < 4
is not hard. But doesn't 1 < b < 4
look intriguing? It's so clean!
I would also expect a slight difference, namely that 1 < b < 4
evaluates b
once and 1 < b && b < 4
evaluates b
twice.

I don't think it's worth adding extra complexity to Ruby.
