Well, my remark was based on your description:

   I have fixed this PR according to Scott Meyers' guideline about 
   comparison operators as non-member functions (Effective STL, 119): now 
   all the _Deque_iterator comparison operators are non-members

and the removal of member comparaison operators.  So I wanted to know
whether that isn't an ABI change.
