The validity of your description of that paper aside (nothing in that
paper seems to "disallow" anything; it's just a look at the current
state of affairs), that doesn't justify your post. This ML is for
discussing the C++ standard as it exists. If you want to propose
changing it, there's a different ML for that.

But even this isn't a proposal. Your post has no detailed discussion
of what is being proposed; it's just an advertising blurb and a link
to another page containing advertising and the tool itself. The kinds
of details that should be present for any proposal are not immediately
present behind that link. Perhaps there are more links past that, but
I didn't bother looking.

In short, there's a lot of work to be done to turn whatever that tool
is into a legitimate proposal.
