Re: [SG10] Meeting 04-06

I reviewed the reflector traffic since Urbana, and (re)discovered a couple
of questions that should perhaps be added to the agenda:

There is a question whether descriptions of
feature-test macros from TSes should also be duplicated or summarized in
SD-6. That is not something we have done so far, and my personal
inclination is to say that we probably shouldn't, but I don't remember
SG10 ever discussing the question before.

Should the argument to __has_cpp_attribute be expanded by the preprocessor?
