I'm not the one to make the call here.
Strictly speaking, it changes the standard for some feature from
"conditionally-supported" to "ill-formed", which does sound a bit
evolutionary, in particular since we depart a little further from
C here.

However, personally, I'm ok with this going to Core right away.

JF should make the call here.
