Returns self if self is not a zero value, nil otherwise; uses method zero? for the evaluation.
The returned self allows the method to be chained:
Example
a = %w[z Bb bB bb BB a aA Aa AA A] a.sort {|a, b| (a.downcase <=> b.downcase).nonzero? || a <=> b } # => ["A", "a", "AA", "Aa", "aA", "BB", "Bb", "bB", "bb", "z"]
Of the Core and Standard Library classes, Integer, Float, Rational, and Complex use this implementation.
