Clarification on Comparable documentation

Description

The documentation of Comparable#> says:

/*
 *  call-seq:
 *     obj > other    -> true or false
 *
 *  Compares two objects based on the receiver's <code><=></code>
 *  method, returning true if it returns 1.
 */

However, Comparable#> returns if and only if <=> returns any value greater than 0.
It's better to fix the documentation, isn't it?

Clarify requirements of <=>

A return value of <=> is automatically converted to -1, 0, or 1, so
other values can be returned. [Misc #15630]
