1) unlike some people, I never try to avoid MI (in other 
   words, I use MI when I feel a need for it)

2) I just cannot see how MI would be used here

3) this is some old code, I wouldn't write code just 
   to compete with other boost proposals  ;-)

4) I am sure we can get the best of every potentially 
   competing proposals at the same time

For those who haven't downloaded my comparison_ops.H 
header, here is the hierarchy:

            EqualtyComparable
              /            \
         TotalyOrdered    LessThanComparable
