Compares two shared_ptr<T> objects or compares shared_ptr<T> with a null pointer.

Note that the comparison operators for shared_ptr simply compare pointer values; the actual objects pointed to are not compared. Having operator< defined for shared_ptr allows shared_ptrs to be used as keys in associative containers, like std::map and std::set.
