Description

https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.fct.def.default#def:user-provided says:

A function is user-provided if it is user-declared and not explicitly defaulted or deleted on its first declaration.

However, there is no normative definition of user-declared, at least not according to the Index. The Index currently jumps straight from "usable in constant expressions" to "user-defined conversion sequence."

This is probably an easy fix, just adding an index entry somewhere.

Research direction

Start with the Index and the linked [user-provided] definition in dcl.fct.def.default. Add a normative Index entry for "user-declared" in the appropriate location, then confirm the Index no longer skips that term.
