"underlying type" is defined in basic.tex 3.9.1 [basic.fundamental] p5, is used throughout the spec, yet is formatted as a \term{} only in declarations.tex 7.2 [dcl.enum] p9.

While this issue was opened to address all occurrences of "underlying type" in the spec, we're narrowing its scope to just the issues in 3.9.1 and 7.2. Issue #391 was opened for some of the remaining occurrences, and the rest will be dropped from this issue entirely.

I'd like to point out that "underlying type" in 3.9.1 refers to the base type for wchar_t, char16_t, and char32_t, whereas "underlying type" in 7.2p9 talks about the underlying type of an enumeration. These two definitions, strictly speaking, have nothing to do with each other.

Am I understanding correctly that this editorial issue strives to add italics to the introduction of the term "underlying type" for enumerations in 7.2p5 "Each enumeration also has an underlying
type." ?
