Martin Sebor commented on STDCXX-689:
-------------------------------------
I suspect I hadn't realized issue
[280|http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#280] was
about more than the assignment operator. Or I hadn't intended to include more
than the assignment operator portion of issue 280 in this issue. Either way, I
now tend to think they might as well be dealt with together. With that in mind,
I agree that changing the equality operators to tale two template parameters is
strictly speaking an incompatible change that would be safest to deferred until
4.3.

> LWG Issue 280 added a template assignment operator to reverse_iterator:
> http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#280
> It doesn't look like we ever added the function.
> I'm having trouble coming up with a test case that would reveal its absence
> so this is just a placeholder to remind us to look into this in more detail
> to make sure the function really is needed (if not, there's no need to
> complicate the interface of the template).
