   Integer

   Integer
   Declare Operator > ( ByRef lhs As WString, ByRef rhs As WString ) As 
   Integer

   Declare Operator > ( ByRef lhs As T, ByRef rhs As T ) As Integer

Usage
   result = lhs > rhs

Parameters
   lhs
      The left-hand side expression to compare to.
   rhs
      The right-hand side expression to compare to.
   T
      Any pointer type.

Return Value
   Returns negative one (-1) if the left-hand side expression is greater 
   than the right-hand side expression, or zero (0) if less than or equal.

Description
   Operator > (Greater than) is a binary operator that compares an 
   expression greater than another expression and returns the result - a 
   boolean value in the form of an Integer: negative one (-1) for true and 
   zero (0) for false. The arguments are not modified in any way.

   When this operator is applied to string type data, then a 
   lexicographic/alphabetic order comparison is performed (ordered from the 
   numeric ASCII values of the characters of the two strings).

   This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types as well.

Example
   Operator <= (Less than or equal) is complement to Operator > (Greater 
   than), and is functionally identical when combined with Operator Not 
   (Bit-wise Complement).

      If (420 > 69) Then Print "(420 > 69) is true."
      If Not (420 <= 69) Then Print "not (420 <= 69) is true."

Dialect Differences
   * In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB
