shadowed rel_ops operators

Looking at stl_iterator.h (near end of file)
There are templated operators defined here which exactly shadow the
operators defined in std::rel_ops.
These iterator specific operators cause havoc when using <iterator> and
std::rel_ops in the same compilation unit.
There are only two operators in stl_iterator.h which do anything unique to
iterators they are operator==() and operator<(), the fundamental operators.
I'd like to have the rest of the operators removed and replaced with (eg.)
using std::rel_ops::operator!=;
I have made the changes on my system and recompiled my extensive list of
container code without any problems that I can see. So it looks like its
safe to do this.
Comments?
