| The behaviour I wanted is at least not *against* the standard, while being more

Can you explain me clearly how that has any implication about how the
compiler should behave in this specific case?  We're not in an
unspecified territory here.  Please do read Paul M.'s explanation.

This PR should be colsed as INVALID.
