static VALUE
int_lt(VALUE x, VALUE y)
{
    if (FIXNUM_P(x)) {
        return fix_lt(x, y);
    }
    else if (RB_BIGNUM_TYPE_P(x)) {
        return rb_big_lt(x, y);
    }
    return Qnil;
}

Returns true if the value of self is less than that of other:

  1 < 0              # => false
  1 < 1              # => false
  1 < 2              # => true
  1 < 0.5            # => false
  1 < Rational(1, 2) # => false

Raises an exception if the comparison cannot be made.
