Your prayers have been heard... almost ;^)

The relational operator templates of the standard library have been moved
to their own subnamespace (::std::rel_ops, I believe --- not sure). This
is the only case of a standard sub-::std namespace (no pun intended :).

This makes it easy to avoid the problem above (if you have a sufficiently
close implementation that is).
