That's what I did initially, but apparently the debug library also verifies that the array is ordered, so three version was required.

I finally gave up and stole Howard's upper_bound(), see r127522. It is much less code to write your own algorithms instead of using the STL. Tell your kids!

Interestingly, X86FloatingPoint.cpp has an asymmetric lower_bound that hasn't caused problems. It uses operator<(), though
