Except that the intro text for the variable table isn't stellar:

Table [tab:desc.var.def] describes the types manipulated through allocators.

The table also shows non-type variables.

That would be a rather large change, since most of the introductory sections for the requirements tables are affected. Maybe we should ask LWG what their preference is.

A third alternative layout is lists, as in [rand.req.dist]#3.

Editorial meeting consensus: Re-layout the introductory sections as lists.

Ah, I see that the hard-to-read paragraph I originally cited (http://eel.is/c++draft/associative.reqmts.general#8) has now been fixed, sweet!

I also see that the "big" label was applied to this ticket. Are there any remaining hard-to-read paragraphs introducing variables?
