static bool eq( char_type a, char_type b );
(until C++11)
static constexpr bool eq( char_type a, char_type b );

(2)
static bool lt( char_type a, char_type b );
(until C++11)

Compares two characters.

1) Compares a and b for equality.
2) Compares a and b in such a way that they are totally ordered.

For the char specialization, eq and lt are defined identically to the built-in operators == and < for type unsigned char (not char).
