Can you give an example of an unspecified comparison? I think the only way to
do what the paper wants is for the implementation to make the comparison
specified (without the need to document it). Is the self-consistency required
only within some specified scope (a single expression?) or even across TUs
(which might be compiled by different compilers or compiler versions)?
So my feedback would be to make the comparison well-defined.
I’m still curious about which ones are unspecified now.
