I think this might be useful when the constexpr work is completed, since
many of the constexpr uses have some implementation bits done. This
would provide a checklist for the fixups. I'm not quite sure it's
many more places than what is already noted. So, I would be inclined to
specify this in detail.
The random status in general is just a half stab, probably there are
more comments that you two could provide but I wanted to just have a
better idea of the C++0x status. I'm in favor of less brevity if it
helps us all get on the same page WRT what the status is and what is
needed.

Well, the concepts bits are detailed in many places. I think finer
detail is helpful.
