Thanks. I’m glad we resolved this on the SG16 reflector and not a larger list :)

In my idea world, the “except that” would move from the normative text into a following [Note:...], but perfection is the enemy of the good, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so no more even minor concerns on this paper from me - and thanks for putting in all the work. This may seem like a small thing, but I believe it is a vital building block towards truly portable C++ source files.
