Hi SG16,

I'd like you to take on CWG issue #1871:

1871. Non-identifier characters in ud-suffix

Section: 5.13.8  [lex.ext]     Status: extension     Submitter: Richard Smith     Date: 2014-02-17

(From messages 24712 through 24714, 24716, 24717, and 24719.)

A ud-suffix is defined in 5.13.8 [lex.ext] as an identifier. This prevents plausible user-defined literals for currency symbols, which are not categorized as identifier characters.

Rationale (June, 2014):

CWG felt that a decision on whether to allow this capability or not should be considered by EWG.


Please let EWG know what you think, given the ongoing TR31 work. EWG will then discuss your proposal, hopefully adopting it as-is, and forward to CWG.

Thanks,

JF
