This definition in 99 [defns.comparison] should be updated to accommodate the new 3-way comparison operator (7.6.8 [expr.spaceship]) as well.

[2020-02 Moved to Immediate on Tuesday in Prague.]

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4849.

1. Modify 99 [defns.comparison] as indicated:

   comparison function

   operator function (12.4 [over.oper]) for any of the equality (7.6.10 [expr.eq]), or relational (7.6.9 [expr.rel]), or three-way comparison (7.6.8 [expr.spaceship]) operators
