//! Basic comparator factories shared by Arrow crates that need to compare
//! arbitrary array slots without pulling in the full `arrow-ord` crate.
//!
//! The only public surface is [`make_comparator`] (with [`DynComparator`] as the
//! returned function type). `arrow-ord` re-exports both from here, so its
//! public API is unchanged.
//!
//! This crate exists so that crates such as `arrow-select` can use slot-wise
//! comparison (e.g. for the run-end-encoded `take` fast path) without taking on
//! the full ordering kernel suite — which would either create a circular
//! dependency (`arrow-ord` already depends on `arrow-select`) or force every
//! downstream user of `arrow-array` to compile the comparator machinery whether
//! they need it or not.
//!
//! # Platform Support
//!
//! Only little-endian platforms are officially supported and tested in CI.
//! Big-endian platforms are not tested in CI and may not work correctly.
//! Fixes for big-endian platforms are welcome and handled on a best-effort basis,
//! but compatibility is not guaranteed.
