This should be in namespace std::rel_ops.  For some reasons
(presumably because the entire library is not namespaced) it isn't.
Forcing it to be really in std::rel_ops (i.e. ::rel_ops) would be an
ABI change.  I'm not sure we are wanting that.  But on the other hand,
we're breaking conforming codes.  What do people think?
