(Serious answer to a tongue-in-cheek question)
No, the Maximal Munch Rule <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal_munch>
invariably applies. `x<=>y` lexes as four tokens in C++17 (x, <=, >, y)
and as three tokens in C++20 (x, <=>, y).

C++ has plenty of places where maximal-munch does the "wrong" thing; the
ones I run into most often are
template<enable_if_t<x>*=0> void f(); // oops
template<enable_if_t<x,void*>=0> void f(); // yeesh, still oops
