| The name was inspired by the "rel_ops" STL namespace.

Just a historical note: rel_ops was introduced as a compromise between
removing the operators it contains completely from the standard and
what was originally proposed.  Many people view it as a "jail", and
many users don't know about it.  I don't know whether that is the case
for the operators you're proposing.  This is just a note about how
rel_ops came in, in case you're building on analogy :-)
