Consider following @jensmaurer approach of using "possible" to replace "might", as shown in #4334, to maintain consistency.

Some of the "it is possible" rephrasing feel awkward when involving a negation. For example, "It is possible for f not to be called at all,".

Similarly "It is possible for line #1 not to result in concurrency" later in the same pull request.

I don't have better suggestions for those ones right now.

Do let us keep those awkward fixes in a separate pile, for C++20 only, and we'll revisit those later.
