Precedence doesn't mean that the code is simpler. You turned one
method into four. There is nothing simpler or easier to understand
that that.
Back out the change.
Calls to cmp(a, b) turned into something like (a < b) - (b > a). I
don't know if that is right. It is non-trivial and less
understandable.
Back out that change, too.
