| Actually, it's instantiated here:
|
| bool operator<( const reversible_ptr_container& r ) const // nothrow
| {
|    return std::lexicographical_compare( begin(), end(), r.begin(),
| r.end() );

I'm certainly misunderstanding something...I thought instantiation was only 
supposed to happen if I use the
thing, in this case bool operator<(...).

what am I misunderstanding?
