Documentation
//! All keys in leveldb are compared by their binary value unless
//! defined otherwise.
//!
//! Comparators allow to override this comparison.
//! The ordering of keys introduced by the compartor influences iteration order.
//! Databases written with one Comparator cannot be opened with another.
