Hi @ctetreau, ok for now I'm going to completely remove the operators and revert the code using those operators to how it was before. I'm not sure what you mean about the predicate functions so I've left those for now, since they aren't needed for this patch. The purpose of this patch was originally supposed to be mechanical anyway - just making members private. I only added the operators as an after-thought really, just to be consistent with how TypeSize dealt with the identical problem. For what it's worth, I believe that GCC solved this exact same problem by adding two types of comparison functions - one set that absolutely wanted an answer to ">,<,>=,<=" and asserted if it wasn't known at compile time, and another set of comparison functions that returned an additional boolean value indicating whether the answer was known or not. Perhaps my knowledge is out of date, but I believe this was the accepted solution and seemed to work well.
