=head2 compare( $a, $b )

By passing a subref as the first parameter to C<bozo()>, the user is able to 
manipulate sort orders just as is done with Perl's built in C< sort { code } @list > 
routine.

The comparison function is easy to implement using Perl's C<< <=> >> and C< cmp > 
operators, but any amount of creativity is ok so long as return values are negative 
for "Order is ok", positive for "Order is not ok", and 0 for "Terms are equal 
(Order is ok)".
