Return whether two bidirectional iterators refer to the same position.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslstl_bidirectionaliterator.h>`

== Description

Return `true` if the specified `lhs` iterator has the same value as the specified `rhs` iterator, and `false` otherwise. Two iterators have the same value if they refer to the same element, or both have the past‐the‐ end value for the underlying sequence. The behavior is undefined unless both iterators refer to the same underlying sequence.

== Return Value

`true` if the iterators have the same value, and `false` otherwise

== Parameters
