I'm not sure how to interpret that.

1. The current weasel words are good enough, even though it specifically
says that it only applies to specializations of pointer types, which void
clearly isn't.

2. std::less<void> isn't intended as a drop-in replacement for
std::less<T*>.

3. Pointers, while historically not totally ordered, are practically so
for all systems in existence today, with the exception of the ivory tower
minds of the committee, so the point is moot.

Also, do you remember when we had this discussion? I've only found notes
for LWG Portland, but I thought we had talked about it since then.
