It seems to me that all these examples should be rejected (Thanks to Jens
Maurer for helping me here): At first it seems, that we can follow the grammar
chain starting from /declaration/ in 7 [dcl.dcl] via 

simple-declaration => decl-specifier-seq_opt init-declarator-list_opt; 

without the optional init-declarator-list reaching 

decl-specifier => type-specifier => trailing-type-specifier =>
simple-type-specifier => decltype(expression). 

But the show-stopper for this is 7 [dcl.dcl] p3:

"In a simple-declaration, the optional init-declarator-list can be omitted only
when declaring a class (Clause 9) or enumeration (7.2), that is, when the
decl-specifier-seq contains either a class-specifier, an elaborated-type-
specifier with a class-key (9.1), or an enum-specifier. [..]"

Neither of these three situations applies, so this is no valid
/simple-declaration/.
