opCmp on a struct keyed by an array of bytes

Is there any better way to write the method than:
(cmp doesn't seem to work, and byte arrays don't have an opCmp method.)
int opCmp(ref const B24 b) const
{ for (int i = 0; i < 24; i++)
{ if (bytes[i] < b.bytes[i]) return -1;
if (bytes[i] > b.bytes[i]) return 1;
}
return 0;
} // opCmp
FWIW, the key is a fixed length array of ubyte, but similar structs have
differing lengths. If it's not supported by the system I don't want to
do something like casting the pieces
to ulongs and comparing those rather than the bytes. The added
complexity isn't worth it.
