I think what we want is something like this:

```
struct __equal_tag {};
struct __plus_tag {};
// etc...

template <class _CanonicalTag, class _Operation, class ..._Args>
struct __desugars_to : false_type {};


// std::equal_to and friends
template <class _Tp> struct __desugars_to<__equal_tag, equal_to<_Tp>, _Tp, _Tp> : true_type {};
template <class _Tp, class _Up> struct __desugars_to<__equal_tag, equal_to<void>, _Tp, _Up> : true_type {};
template <class _Tp, class _Up> struct __desugars_to<__equal_tag, __equal, _Tp, _Up> : true_type {};
template <class _Tp, class _Up> struct __desugars_to<__equal_tag, ranges::equal_to, _Tp, _Up> : true_type {};

// std::plus and friends
etc...
```

I originally thought that using `std::equal_to<>` as a "tag" to represent the canonical operation was a good idea, but since it doesn't exist in older standards we end up having to use `std::equal_to<void>` explicitly, and that really obfuscates the fact that it's meant to be a tag.
