Seems like this correctly identifies a problem, but also seems to address it in quite an extreme way. All that's needed is (as is done elsewhere) to turn the mid-sentence example into a parenthesized phrase that's introduced by 'e.g.' -- let's please not rewrite more than necessary. |
@W-E-Brown I considered this, but I don't think we need to make this wording normative. If we were to do so, a rephrasing (as done here) would certainly be necessary (it's quite dated and imprecise). I'd argue that it would be the more "extreme" approach, as opposed to moving it to the end where we already have informative wording. |
Do we even need a normative statement here? Does this not fall out of the grammar productions for the relevant constructs? |
@timsong-cpp This is indeed redundant (as older wording tends to be) |

"declarators" is misleading
Having an example after a comma mid-sentence is horrible (I had to read this several times to realize that it wasn't a sentence fragment).
