We definitely don't want that. std::not_fn could be move to its own header.

But I'm not sure this is a good change anyway, as we can't do it
unconditionally. Pre-C++17 code would still be using the predefined_ops.h
function objects, so we can't remove that code. And we'll get template
bloat from instantiating the algos twice, once with the old function
objects and once with std::not_fn.

No, please don't include <version> anywhere. If you do that, it means
<functional> now defines every feature test macro in the entire library,
which makes it look like you can get smart pointers and ranges and
constexpr math all from <functional>.
