The following was added in #6588:
{{{
def __cmp__(self, other):
"""
EXAMPLES::
sage: B4 = CartanType(['B', 4])
sage: B4dual = CartanType(['B', 4]).dual()
sage: F4dual = CartanType(['F', 4]).dual()
sage: cmp(F4dual, F4dual)
0
sage: cmp(F4dual, B4dual)
1
sage: cmp(B4dual, F4dual)
-1
sage: cmp(B4dual, B4)
1
.. todo:: do we really need a cmp, or just eq?
"""
}}}
But whether `cmp()` outputs 1 or -1 is essentially arbitrary. This must
be fixed immediately.
