Issue with std::reference_wrapper

The issue is clear with the following code:

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main() {
  //std::vector<int> a, b;
  int a = 0, b = 0;
  auto refa = std::ref(a);
  auto refb = std::ref(b);
  std::cout << (refa < refb) << '\n';
  return 0;
}

If I use the commented std::vector<int> a, b; instead of int a = 0, b = 0;, then the code does not compile on any of GCC 5.1, clang 3.6, or MSVC'13. In my opinion, std::reference_wrapper<std::vector<int>> is implicitly convertible to std::vector<int>& which is LessThanComparable, and thus it should be LessThanComparable itself. Could someone explain this to me?
