shadowed rel_ops operators

[Richard Andrews]

OK. It sounds like the rel_ops operators were a mistake to include in the
standard. So are there any plans to remove them from the standard?

What will be the standing of libstdc++ if rel_ops breaks libstdc++ or
vice-verse?

Is this a problem with other implementations of C++?

Yes.  It is not the iterator operators that break rel_ops, but rather
the rel_ops operators that break the iterator operators, as indeed they
break all similar operators.

The rel_ops operators are not useful.  They were a mistake.  If you 
insist on using them, you will have trouble.  Nobody will care, because 
you asked for it.
