            Bug ID: 44325
           Summary: Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant warns when using
                    `operator<=>`
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux

```
#include <compare>

auto b = 1 <=> 2 < 0;
```

Outputs:

```
<source>:3:20: warning: zero as null pointer constant
[-Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant]

auto b = 1 <=> 2 < 0;

                   ^

                   nullptr

Technically, the warning is accurate. User code has a literal `0` that is being
passed to a function accepting a `nullptr`. However, this is an implementation
detail of the standard library and the intended interface for use (users should
not use `nullptr` there), so we should not warn users for doing so (and
definitely should not direct them to change their code).
