Description:
------------
Comparison for DateTimeImmutable doesn't work. The same example with DateTime objects works.

Test script:
---------------
$a = new DateTimeImmutable('today');
$b = new DateTimeImmutable('tomorrow');

if ($a < $b) {
   print("yay");
}


Expected result:
----------------
yay

Actual result:
--------------
no output

It seems that the comparison operators are not overloaded for
DateTimeImmutable objects.  Apparently they show the same behavior
as for arbitrary user defined classes.

If my assumption is correct, instead of adding a special treatment 
for the comparison operators wrt. DateTimeImmutable objects, it
might be considered to add a magic method __compare(). However,
I'm not sure, if this fits well with type juggling.
