This is related to open defect 484. Can this be taken as a sign that standard algorithms should cast all calls to things like <, etc? 2) There doesn't seem to be a swap overload for tuple. Is there some reason why one isn't present? It seems like for pair to be an obvious thing to have with no obvious problems, but if it will slightly change behaviour when an attempting at swapping fails part way through, so it has to really be in the standard from the start.
