Do we need to provide ordered?

[hyrodium]

Base.minmax is almost the same, and IntervalSets.ordered is not used in IntervalSets.jl itself.

julia> using IntervalSets

julia> ordered(1,2)
(1, 2)

julia> minmax(1,2)
(1, 2)

julia> ordered(1.0,2)
(1.0, 2.0)

julia> minmax(1.0,2)
(1.0, 2.0)

julia> ordered("bc","ade")
("ade", "bc")

julia> minmax("bc","ade")
("ade", "bc")

The only differences are type promotion and if-statement.

julia> ordered([2.0], [1,3])
([1.0, 3.0], [2.0])

julia> minmax([2.0], [1,3])  # does not promote
([1, 3], [2.0])

IntervalSets.ordered uses ifelse.

But Base.minmax uses ternary operator _?_:_

I'm not sure which implementation is ideal, but Base.minmax should be fixed if IntervalSets.ordered wins in some aspect, and I think we don't have to provide our ordered function.
