Compares two time points. The comparison is done by comparing the results time_since_epoch() for the time points.

1-2) Checks if the time points `lhs` and `rhs` refer to the same time point for the given clock.
3-6) Compares the time points `lhs` and `rhs`.

### [edit] Parameters

lhs, rhs | - | time points to compare

### [edit] Return value

1) true if the `lhs` and `rhs` refer to the same time point, false otherwise.
2) true if the `lhs` and `rhs` refer to different time points, false otherwise.
3) true if the `lhs` refers to time point before `rhs`, false otherwise.
4) true if the `lhs` refers to time point before `rhs`, or to the same time point as `rhs`, false otherwise.
5) true if the `lhs` refers to time point after `rhs`, false otherwise.
6) true if the `lhs` refers to time point after `rhs`, or to the same time point as `rhs`, false otherwise.

### [edit] Exceptions

(none)

### [edit] Notes

These operators were not `constexpr` in C++11, this was corrected in C++14
