Bind already overloads the relational operators:
http://www.boost.org/libs/bind/bind.html#operators
in more limited contexts. It is trivial to extend this overloading to work
on expressions that involve no bind calls such as _1 == 5, _1 > _2 or !_4 -
provided that the placeholders aren't inline functions, of course. :-)

Not yet.

The operators that Bind currently supports do not require return type
deduction since their return type is assumed to be bool.
