Yes. So the behavior of vc10's decltype wrt this issue is in conformance
with /current/ working paper -- which is broken, according to n3233. It
will be discussed soon in Madrid. If the proposed wording is accepted
(and I hope to god it is), then VC10's decltype --along with everybody
else's-- will need to be fixed.

But please fix it anyway. :-)
