Right, but the way the cmp operator works is if it's not equal it's
either less than or greater than, neither of which is meaningful as a
result if they are not from the same host, right?
Currently the API does not support a way to return an error code for the
compare function, but it's an error to compare two records who do not
share the same host value. At the moment all I can think of is that
auparse_timestamp_compare() will have to be deprecated and replaced with
a different function, unless you have a better idea. Suggestions?
