That seems reasonable to me, I'll do so.Minor nit: I dislike normatively stating that a null character is appended after string concatenation in two places. I do like the addition of this directly to the phase 6 wording, so suggest that the original in [lex.string]p12 with its extra flowery language be demoted to a note.
In the normative text, AFAICT, in C++20 wide multi character literals must be supported, with an implementation-defined value, but after this paper they will be conditionally supported. I don’t see that design change addressed in the front matter. Same applies to non-encodable wide characters .
That is addressed in the "Proposed resolution overview" section. I can add a statement about this to the introduction if you like.
I've been under the impression that the lack of
conditionally-supported for these is an oversight. My
understanding (and someone please correct me if I'm mistaken; I
don't recall where I was informed of this) is that, in the C
standard, implementation-defined includes an allowance for
rejecting the code as ill-formed, but in the C++ standard,
implementation-defined implies well-formed; hence the addition of
conditionally-supported. If that understanding is correct, then
the updated wording corrects alignment with the intent of the C
standard.
(I thought this also applied to ordinary multi character literals, but it turns out they are already conditionally supported.)
Yup, in [lex.ccon]p1.
