Description
In Base and elsewhere, the preferred way of doing comparisons as is done here with compare and Comp is through lt with Base.Order. Thus I propose that, for consistency, this package be updated to deprecate its own comparison functionality in favor of that from Base. If this seems like a good idea, I can submit a PR.

Research direction
Start by locating this package's comparison entry points, especially compare and Comp, then compare their role with Base.lt and Base.Order. Define which functionality should be deprecated and what consistent replacement the package should document or expose; the issue does not identify files or tests.
