to work around this bug, and get error at compile time you can create 
template for built in operators (< + - /): as 'lt' mentioned in the 
archived post, and use: lt(a, b) instead of a < b.

If it were not possible to make such templates, I would be hunting bugs 
in my sometime wrong/sometime not calculations to this day.

It is quite hard to avoid using unsigned types, especially when you are 
using auto.
