--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I added the partial specialization in r141512 to meet the updated requirements
in https://wg21.link/n2637 in particular:
For templates greater, less, greater_equal, and less_equal,
the partial specializations for shared_ptr yield a total order,
even if the built-in operators <, >, <=, >= do not. Moreover,
less<shared_ptr<T> >::operator()(a, b) shall return
std::less<T*>::operator()(a.get(), b.get()).
However, https://wg21.link/lwg1262 replaced that wording and removed the need
for a partial specialization of std::less. Despite filing that issue myself I
apparently never fixed GCC.
