> A follow-up of sorts to JDK-8257086, this change aims to improve the discussion of the relationship between Object.equals and compareTo and compare methods. The not-consistent-with-equals natural ordering of BigDecimal get more explication too. While updating Object, I added some uses of apiNote and implSpec, as appropriate. While a signum method did not exist when Comparable was added, it has existed for many years so I removed obsolete text that defined a "sgn" function to compute signum.
