1) Equality operator for variants:

• If v.index() != w.index(), returns false;
• otherwise if v.valueless_by_exception(), returns true;
• otherwise returns std::get<v.index()>(v) == std::get<v.index()>(w). The behavior is undefined if std::get<i>(v) == std::get<i>(w) is not a valid expression returning a type convertible to bool, for any i.

2) Inequality operator for variants:

• If v.index() != w.index(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.valueless_by_exception(), returns false;
• otherwise returns std::get<v.index()>(v) != std::get<v.index()>(w). The behavior is undefined if std::get<i>(v) != std::get<i>(w) is not a valid expression returning a type convertible to bool, for any i.

3) Less-than operator for variants:

• If w.valueless_by_exception(), returns false;
• otherwise if v.valueless_by_exception(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.index() < w.index(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.index() > w.index(), returns false;
• otherwise returns std::get<v.index()>(v) < std::get<v.index()>(w). The behavior is undefined if std::get<i>(v) < std::get<i>(w) is not a valid expression returning a type convertible to bool, for any i.

4) Greater-than operator for variants:

• If v.valueless_by_exception(), returns false;
• otherwise if w.valueless_by_exception(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.index() > w.index(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.index() < w.index(), returns false;
• otherwise returns std::get<v.index()>(v) > std::get<v.index()>(w). The behavior is undefined if std::get<i>(v) > std::get<i>(w) is not a valid expression returning a type convertible to bool, for any i.

5) Less-equal operator for variants:

• If v.valueless_by_exception(), returns true;
• otherwise if w.valueless_by_exception(), returns false;
• otherwise if v.index() < w.index(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.index() > w.index(), returns false;
• otherwise returns std::get<v.index()>(v) <= std::get<v.index()>(w). The behavior is undefined if std::get<i>(v) <= std::get<i>(w) is not a valid expression returning a type convertible to bool, for any i.

6) Greater-equal operator for variants:

• If w.valueless_by_exception(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.valueless_by_exception(), returns false;
• otherwise if v.index() > w.index(), returns true;
• otherwise if v.index() < w.index(), returns false;
• otherwise std::get<v.index()>(v) >= std::get<v.index()>(w). The behavior is undefined if std::get<i>(v) >= std::get<i>(w) is not a valid expression returning a type convertible to bool, for any i.
