Parameters
BidIt
The iterator type.
IOtraits
The string traits class.
Alloc
The allocator class.
left
The left object to compare.
right
The right object to compare.
Remarks
Each template operator converts each of its arguments to a string type and returns the result of comparing the converted objects for equality.
When a template operator converts its arguments to a string type it uses the first of the following transformations that applies:
arguments whose types are a specialization of template class match_results or sub_match are converted by calling the str member function;
arguments whose types are a specialization of the template class basic_string are unchanged;
all other argument types are converted by passing the argument value to the constructor for an appropriate specialization of the template class basic_string.
