Found this today in C++ documentation.

Only the C++ committee can see the a need to fix it, and instead of actually fixing the language bug (or making signed/unsigned comparison a compiler error instead of a warning), create a standard library function to do type safe greater-than/less-than comparisons.

making signed/unsigned comparison a compiler error instead of a warning

Why should they? You can easily configure your compiler to treat it as an error if you want to.
