Copy edits applied.
I have not reworded the Note, which was pre-existing. I have it noted to
revisit. I'd prefer to have a better discussion of the audience for the
note, and what is being taught to those people.
d1949 update at https://isocpp.org/files/papers/D1949R4.html
When I post it as P1949, I will only be changing the Document# in the
forematter.
When that happens depends a little on how many episodes of Community my
wife and I watch tonight.
