Hello,
an std::set<art::InputTag> does not compile because of the lack of 'operator<'.
Can it please be added?

Andrei, is the motivation for this request that you want to compare a user-specified tag against a set of allowed tags?

We are fine with implementing a comparison operation, although its spelling may be something other than 'operator<()', or 'operator<()' may be implemented in terms of a named function that can alternatively be specified when specifying/constructing the std::set template arguments.

The chosen approach was to specialize of std::less<art::InputTag>, which is what std::set and std::map use as default custom comparators. By choosing this route, we avoid introducing operators '<', '>' (etc.), which do not have a natural meaning for art::InputTag.
Implemented with commit canvas:ed8e1c7e.
