[cfp-interest 3450] Re: (no subject)

[Jim Thomas]

I’m in favor of the change too, but think it should be in a separate proposal. There are other such misuses of return value, at least in Annex H. The paper should address all of them, and should be reviewed by CFP. I prefer not to hold up the proposal for the complex.h introduction to address this tangential issue.
