Butenhof's description (page 89 of his book) was the model for my
wording. I didn't quote him directly because (1) I didn't want to violate
his copyright and (2) the rules have to be expressed in terms that are
well-defined in the C++ standard, plus any newly defined terms.
Someone else who is more of a C++ core language wording expert than I am
really needs to refine or replace the wording. But until that happens,
what is there will serve as a placeholder.
