Subject: Overload cmp too
Since the objects stringify, many (indirect) users may not realize they're working with Email::Address objects until they try sort them, and things blow-up. It shouldn't be too hard to provide a cmp overload that builds on the the existing stringification.

I'm not sure that falling back to stringification will be the best behavior, although it will be better than nothing. Given the following three stringifications: albert@example.com "Betty O'Connor" <betty@example.com> charlie@example.com ...I think sorting by stringification will be weird. Nonetheless, I have enabled overload fallback. The specific behavior of cmp may become less surprising in the future. -- rjbs
