I mean it's clearer to have:
result = long_compare(self, other);
return Py_cmp_to_bool(result, op);
than:
result = long_compare(self, other);
Py_RETURN_RICHCOMPARE(result, 0, op);
This is because in other places, like the proposed use
case in
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-March/032564.html ,
the macro actually *performs* the "rich" comparison. In the above case
it just *converts* the result of long_compare().
Maybe the distinction does not matter in practice, but I'm not
too happy with it.
