  - `compare`

    #### Declaration

    `const pure nothrow @nogc int `compare`(const StringExp `se2`);`

    #### Discussion

    The comparison is not the usual C-style comparison as seen with `strcmp` or `memcmp`, but instead first `compare` based on the length. This allows both faster lookup and sorting when comparing sparse data.
    This ordering scheme is relied on by the string-switching feature. Code in Druntime's `core.internal.switch_` relies on this ordering when doing a binary search among case statements.
    Both `StringExp` should be of the same encoding.

    #### Parameters

    `StringExp `se2`` | String expression to `compare` `this` to

    #### Return Value

    `0` when `this` is equal to `se2`, a value greater than `0` if `this` should be considered greater than ``se2``, and a value less than `0` if `this` is lesser than ``se2``.

  - `allow`

    #### Declaration

    `static void `allow`(Expression `exp`);`

    If the argument is a CommaExp, set a flag to prevent deprecation messages

    #### Discussion

    It's impossible to know from CommaExp.semantic if the result will be used, hence when there is a result (type != void), a deprecation message is always emitted. However, some construct can produce a result but won't use it (ExpStatement and for loop increment). Those should call this function to prevent unwanted deprecations to be emitted.

    #### Parameters

    `Expression `exp`` | An expression that discards its result. If the argument is `null` or not a CommaExp, nothing happens.
