term_lt : term -> term -> unit

SYNOPSIS
A total ordering function on terms.

DESCRIBE
term_lt tells whether one term is less than another in the ordering.

FAILURE
Never fails.

EXAMPLE
    - term_lt (--`\x.x = T`--) (--`3 + 4`--)
    val it = false : bool

COMMENTS
If not (term_lt tm1 tm2) and not (term_lt tm2 tm1), then tm1 = tm2, although it is faster to directly test for equality. Ordering of terms may be useful in implementing search trees and the like.

SEEALSO  type_lt
