The same about 'equality_comparable' class template. As I wrote a little while
ago (http://www.egroups.com/message/boost/7697), these two templates are the
only ones which do not match the proposed summary of template names semantics
(which we haven't discussed yet). IMO, we should rename them  (for me
'comparable' still seems as a good replacement for 'less_than_comparable'; no
good ideas about another one, though), and add the summary notes to docs.
