CD-2 states that the functions in namespace std::rel_ops are there to
avoid redundant definitions of operations like != that can be
constructed from other operations (==).

I don't understand how this feature can be used.  For example, if I do
the following:

using namespace std::rel_ops;

Then any class that defines == and < will work with !=, <=, etc. This
might not be appropriate.  On the other hand, I would like to be able to
define a class as follows:

class X { ... };
bool operator==(X, X);
bool operator<(X, X);

Then I'd like to somehow use std::rel_ops to automatically make !=, <=,
>= and > available for class X.  Is there anyway to do this?
