Description

[dcl.fct.def.delete] p1 says:

A deleted function is a function with a deleted definition or a function that is implicitly defined as deleted.

Since in clauses [class], we say

A defaulted YYY for class X is defined as deleted if:

This includes explicitly-defaulted functions and implicitly-declared functions. A deleted definition function for the explicitly-defaulted function is defined as:

an explicitly-defaulted definition of the function where the function is defined as deleted.

So, it is an improvement to define the deleted function of the implicitly-declared function as the following:

an implicitly declared function that is defined as deleted.
