    • C++20 int compare @ Qt

    Description

      C++20 added integer comparison functions to the <utility> header (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility#Integer_comparison_functions). While these don't have impact on our APIs, we may want to reimplement them under the q20 mechanism and start using them instead of the traditional ==/!=/</>/<=/>= for mixed-integer types, because developers all too often get these wrong.

      We might need to do something for qfloat16 and the q_le types.
