    ''' This is an implementation of a special symbol comparer, which is supposed to be used  for 
    ''' sorting original definition symbols (explicitly or explicitly declared in source  within the same 
    ''' container) in lexical order of their declarations. It will not work on  anything that uses non-source locations.
