Butenhof's description (page 89 of his book) was the model for my 
wording.  I didn't quote him directly because (1) I didn't want to violate 
his copyright and (2) the rules have to be expressed in terms that are 
well-defined in the C++ standard, plus any newly defined terms.

Someone else who is more of a C++ core language wording expert than I am 
really needs to refine or replace the wording.  But until that happens, 
what is there will serve as a placeholder.
