Method to Specify Uniqueness of Objects in an STL set?

[Andy Yee]

I know by using the TRAITS argument in declaring a set, you can tell
C++ how to order your objects. Can I also use TRAITS to tell C++
how an object is unique?

Godwin's Law: As a USENET thread grows, the probability of a reference
to Hitler or Nazis approaches 1.00.
Corollary: When such a reference is made, it is generally
recognized that the poster has LOST the argument.

No, that is implied:

X and y are considered equal by std::set<> if and only if
neither x is less than y nor y is less than x.
