+ also, here (Table 98) < is **total ordering**, while "23.2.4 
Associative containers" says:
"
2. Each associative container is parameterized on Key and an ordering 
relation Compare that induces a **strict weak ordering** (25.4) on 
elements of Key. In addition, map and multimap associate an arbitrary 
mapped type T with the Key. The object of type Compare is called the 
comparison object of a container.
