Could SG9 please look at https://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/issue4019 and decide if we want a change?

If it would require a paper we can ask for one and close the issue.

SG9 and LWG met jointly to discuss this issue in St. Louis. We took the following polls:

SG9 and LWG believe this is not a defect.

SF	F	N	A	SA
3	3	0	2	0

Weak consensus

A: It's a footgun and footguns are defects

SG9 and LWG agree that the standard could do something to create fewer sharp edges here, and we encourage a paper exploring options.

SF	F	N	A	SA
4	2	2	0	0

Strong consensus.

The meeting minutes say that the weak consensus implies that LEWG should be asked to confirm NAD, is that right? Or should we just close as NAD?
