Compare two AtomicValue objects according to the rules for their data type. UntypedAtomic values are compared as if they were strings; if different semantics are wanted, the conversion must be done by the caller.
@param a the first object to be compared. It is intended that this should be an instanceof AtomicValue, though this restriction is not enforced. If it is a StringValue, the collator is used to compare the values, otherwise the value must implement the java.util.Comparable interface.
@param b the second object to be compared. This must be comparable with the first object: forexample, if one is a string, they must both be strings.
@return <0 if a0 if a>b
@throws ClassCastException if the objects are not comparable
