The cmp value is threaded but never used. It is a mistake.
The cmp value should either be used instead of compare or completely 
removed (but that's not what was intended).

"Luckily", the mistake is made at all comparison places in this file, so 
the resulting map still behaves like a map, just not with the expected 
ordering.
