Lint when > or >= is used i.e. compared values are not listed in (number line) order

[Skgland]

What it does

Check that < and <= are used rather than > or >= so that compared values are listed in order.

Advantage

• unified style
• some find it easier to reason about (prompted by fix: Ensure dep/feature activates the dependency on 2024  cargo#14221 (comment))

Drawbacks

• Its rather opinionated so should probably be allow by default style/pedantic lint
• inversion might not be possible if only the PartialEq impl for one direction is implemented, so it might need to be limited to cases where the operands implement Eq

Example

Could be written as:

if val >= min && max >= val {
    // do something
}

if min <= val && val <= max {
    // do something
}

Preferably it would also recognize common operands so that

if val <= max && min <= val {
    // do something
}
if max <= val || val <= min {
    // do something
}

would become

if min <= val && val <= max {
    // do something
}
if val <= min && max <= val {
    // do something
}

i.e. for && move common value to the operator and for || move common value away from the operator
