Description
The `EnumOrdinal` check wisely says that "You should almost never invoke the `Enum.ordinal()` method" because it's not guaranteed to be stable. I think there should be a similar `EnumCompareTo` check since `Enum.compareTo()` compares by ordinal, and the same considerations about lack of stability apply.
