Hi,
I don't know if anyone still uses this, but some ideas are worth
considering:
https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/guava/src/com/google/common/collect/Ordering.java
This is a Comparator implementation that also defines min and max. As
generic methods.
So if I have:
Comparator<CharSequence> cmp = ...
var greatest = cmp.max("foo", "bar");
...what type will greatest be?
Regards, Peter

Let's separate these. I think the first two have a good claim to be in
Comparator; I think the latter two probably live better in Comparable,
which feels like a separate conversation (and maybe less important?)
(And also, there's some overlap with some yet-uncollapsed stuff going on
in Valhalla that I'd like to steer clear of.)
Agreed, let's concentrate on default methods first and see how it
goes. I've created
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8356995
I've also found an older (declined) feature request
