<h3>Description</h3>
A type is LessThanComparable if it is ordered: it must
be possible to compare two objects of that type using <tt>operator<</tt>, and
<tt>operator<</tt> must be a partial ordering.
<h3>Refinement of</h3>
<h3>Associated types</h3>

<h3>Definitions</h3>
Consider the relation <tt>!(x < y) && !(y < x)</tt>. If this relation is
transitive (that is, if <tt>!(x < y) && !(y < x) && !(y < z) && !(z < y)</tt>
implies <tt>!(x < z) && !(z < x)</tt>), then it satisfies the mathematical
definition of an equivalence relation. In this case, <tt>operator<</tt>
is a <i>strict weak ordering</i>.
<P>
If <tt>operator<</tt> is a strict weak ordering, and if each equivalence class
has only a single element, then <tt>operator<</tt> is a <i>total ordering</i>.

<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
Only <tt>operator<</tt> is fundamental; the other inequality operators
are essentially syntactic sugar.
<P><A name="2">[2]</A>
Antisymmetry is a theorem, not an axiom: it follows from
irreflexivity and transitivity.
<P><A name="3">[3]</A>
Because of irreflexivity and transitivity, <tt>operator<</tt> always
satisfies the definition of a <i>partial ordering</i>. The definition of
a <i>strict weak ordering</i> is stricter, and the definition of a
<i>total ordering</i> is stricter still.
