Code quality request: no nested ?:-expressions. Functions like this ought to be a series of if-return statements.
protected int(0..1) `<(mixed that) { return intp(that) ? nsecs < [int]that * NANOSECONDS : floatp(that) ? nsecs < [float]that * NANOSECONDS : objectp(that) && nsecs < ([object]that)->nsecs && !zero_type(([object]that)->nsecs); }
