Description
Depends on #882.
We should be conservative and only implement this when the reason we cannot derive is because we're hitting the array length derive limit and similar easy cases. We can't know all the corner cases for types we have no knowledge of, and we shouldn't try.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the dependency, issue #882, and the existing derive-generation behavior. Define the conservative cases where PartialOrd may be implemented manually, limited to known easy failures such as array-length derive limits; done means unsupported or unknown cases remain unchanged and the supported cases are covered by tests.
