Yes indeed and the reason why we needed comparable types is that we can
separate instantiation of a template and its usage.

For instance, we can:
- prototype a template
- use it
- give its definition later / give it in a different TU and instantiate it
with the desired value

template<auto T>
void func();

auto func_int = &func<42>;
template<auto T>
void func() {}

//or in different TU
template<auto T>
void func();

template<>
void func<42>();

But this isn't the case for consteval function as can't use them before
they're defined nor get their address.

Therefor for a consteval function the comparable requirement isn't meaning
full, it's just a leftover of previous unrelated constrains.
