> I can't think of a compare method in the Objective-C core lib (the biggest nil-swallowing lib I know of). Does anyone know of one? Would be interesting to see how it's handled and if it causes issues.

Maybe I misunderstood you, but there is plenty of compare:'s in Cocoa: http://cl.ly/image/1a112f1B1W1g.

They all return an enum that's either -1, 0 or 1.
