After a bit of wrong thinking, I guessed probably the spaceship also can be seen as a cat.   -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von:Andre Kostur via Std-Proposals <std-proposals_at_[hidden]> Gesendet:Di 20.05.2025 14:48 Betreff:Re: [std-proposals] Allow switch for std::meow_ordering An:std-proposals_at_[hidden]; CC:Andre Kostur <andre_at_[hidden]>; Tymi <tymi.cpp_at_[hidden]>; I had no idea either.   I would have used “std::*_ordering” On Tue, May 20, 2025 at 5:34 AM Tymi via Std-Proposals <std-proposals_at_[hidden] <mailto:std-proposals_at_[hidden]> > wrote: Yeah it's just a placeholder and I used it and saw it in use a lot before, specifically meow...  Anyway yeah if means strong_ordering/weak_ordering/partial_ordering.  Tymi.
