Looking at <http://www.boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.htm>, i.e. the Boost version, it seems that the authors fell into the "fake operator <" trap. If any of those authors are reading this, can you tell us why you added the fake operator instead of a custom-named comparison class?

shared_ptr defines operator< for map<shared_ptr<>, V> to work. What do you mean by "fake"?
