Arnold,

I agree.  We definitely are on the same page with
regard to this issue.

Best regards,

I'm still a bit confused about specifying over "free expressions"
versus "bound expressions," since my perception of the scope
of the standard is specification of individual operations,
rather than in the parsing of expressions in a programming
language. However, I suppose we can define the individual
operations (including possible decorations) according to
their effect on expressions, and whether or not we are
thinking of free expressions or bound expressions would
affect how we do this.

The standard must specify the operations only, but the discussion must
ensure that it is clear when the operations supported can be safely
employed.
