But issue 48
(http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#48) has been
categorized as a Defect Report, and although the resolution is not a part of
the standard yet, I think it's very unlikely that any compiler vendor will
put efforts into enforcing the rule that is almost certainly is going to be
removed.
