JF has asked that we conduct a review via mailing list to collect input prior to EWG's review. SG16 will still review post-Issaquah as we usually would in order to provide a recommendation for EWG to consider in a future telecon or in Varna.

I notice that the paper contains to discussion of encoding concerns
at all.

A phase 7 string literal evaluated in a constant expression is
currently no different from such a string literal evaluated at
runtime, conceptually: Both are converted to the literal encoding
and considered as an array of integers, essentially.

I think the question of what exactly we'd like an implementation
to do with such compile-time string literals ending up in compiler
diagnostics should be discussed in the paper.
