[cfe-dev] [libc++] Should std::max allow types that require explicit bool conversion?

To answer my own question: apparently this is due to the still open issue 2114
<https://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/issue2114> in the standard.  The proposed
resolution is to require `a<b` to be _both_ contextually and and implicitly
convertible to bool, plus a few other things related to short-circuiting.

Regards,
Jö.
