That is the big question.
Currently the proposal says between phase 6 and 7. But with a note that says: "It may be more appropriate to perform the f/x-string conversion before phase 6, such as immediately following phase 4 preprocessing. (TBD)".
But that was under my assumption we couldn't/shouldn't touch the preprocessor without WG14. If it's really a practical-possibility to modify preprocessing, then this could of course be done in phase 4.
There are pro's and con's for pretty much anywhere, I think.
I guess I should just list the pro's and con's that I know of in the proposal, and ask for EWG guidance?
