Idea for ECMAScript 7: Number.compare(a, b)

[Axel Rauschmayer]

It’d be nice to have a built-in way for comparing numbers, e.g. when sorting arrays.

```js
// Compact ECMAScript 6 solution
// Risk: number overflow
[1, 5, 3, 12, 2].sort((a,b) => a-b)

// Proposed new function:
[1, 5, 3, 12, 2].sort(Number.compare)
```
