Please note that, as Peder has mentioned, the language support for typeof is
probably going to be in the Standard before any other changes.

Therefore, even if the changes related to the non-deduced context may be a
valuable addition to the Standard, I don't think this is relevant to the
typeof library -- we have to live with what we have...
