I believe programmers are still free to define specific operators in lieu of the compiler-derived ones for such cases.

I found a blog post which raised similar concerns [0], and P1185 [1] proposes some solutions. I don't know whether they made it into the standard, though.

You can choose not to define the spaceship operator and keep using the “old” ones if you want.

Specialized Operators have higher priority. If available they will be called.
