Return `true` if the specified `lhs` has a value less than the specified `rhs`, and `false` otherwise. Iterator `lhs` has a value less than iterator `rhs` if `0 < rhs ‐ lhs` (see `operator‐`). The behavior is undefined unless `lhs` and `rhs` refer to the same array.

Return `true` if the underlying object value of the specified `lhs` is less than the value of the specified `rhs`, and `false` otherwise. Note that the reference count is intentionally ignored.
