Yes, this was the intend, it is exactly the same wording as in C++03. When C++11 was finished everyone was aware that the final rule where still overly constraining and that relaxation of the current constraints is under investigation. > Do you think it would be worth requesting a confirmation/clarification of this > from the C++ standard working group or similar?
