The corresponding CWG issue was

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#1473

It was fixed before C++14, but after C++11 was released, see the
definition of a CD3 issue:

"A DR/DRWP or Accepted/WP issue not resolved in C++11 but included in
the Committee Draft advanceed for balloting at the April, 2013 WG21
meeting."
