You can't.  That's like wanting to change the comparison behavior for
int.  The library provided the tuple type, and it provided comparison
semantics, so that's what you get.  If you want something else, you
can make the tuple a member inside a class of your own choice, or you
can supply an explicit comparison function when sorting.
