we don't have an API for this.
In this case we should use the "bat_metric_compare" but we removed
that API in this version since it was going to be implemented as a "<=" for all
the algorithms we have on the plate now (bat_iv and bat_v).
This is the reason why here we use the compare operation directly.

we could do that, yeah, even if the tests[1] shown that there is not much to
gain at the moment.
What do you suggest?
