Discussion:
99 [concept.comparison] p2:
Due to the subtle meaning of == inside axioms, the Reflexivity axiom does
not do anything as written. It merely states that a value is substitutable
with itself, rather than asserting a property of the == operator.
Original proposed resolution:
Change the definition of Reflexivity in 99 [concept.comparison]:
axiom Reflexivity(T a) { (a == a) == true; }
[ Post Summit: ]
Alisdair: I was wrong.
Recommend NAD.
Proposed resolution:
NAD.
