           Summary: std.algorithm.comparison.cmp for non-strings should
                    call opCmp only once per item pair

Right now when comparing non-string ranges std.algorithm.comparison.cmp calls
the comparison predicate twice for every pair of elements to determine their
order. When the elements have overloaded `opCmp` and the predicate is "a < b"
we only need to call `opCmp` once for each pair.
