Secondary comparison operators
[class.compare.secondary]

#
A
secondary comparison operator
is a relational operator (
[expr.
rel]
) or the
!
=
operator
.
A defaulted operator function (
[over.
binary]
) for a secondary comparison operator
@
shall have a declared return type
bool
.
2
#
The operator function with parameters
x
and
y
is defined as deleted if
(2.1)
overload resolution (
[over.
match]
), as applied to
x @ y
, does not result in a usable candidate, or
(2.2)
the candidate selected by overload resolution is not a rewritten candidate
.
Otherwise, the operator function yields
x @ y
.
The defaulted operator function is not considered as a candidate in the overload resolution for the
@
operator
.
