libc++ debug mode is different from assertions in LLVM main library (first is 
controlled with -D_LIBCPP_ENABLE_DEBUG_MODE, second is with -UNDEBUG). I claim 
that now I cannot write the test which fails in any existing CI configuration. 
And I cannot add a new version of CI because of failing tests. That's why I 
defensively clean up comparators to enable CI in more modes. I made the change 
as easy as possible to prove that it does not harm the sorting overall.
