    [map] Use `mapped_type` rather than `T` for indexing operations (#2330)

    The specification of `unordered_map` already uses `mapped_type`. I'm going to change `flat_map` to do so, too.  We use `mapped_type` in other places. The description (line 6311) even says "a reference to the `mapped_type`".

    [basic.types] Replace redundant "cv-unqualified scalar types" with just "scalar types"

    The redundant phrasing "cv-unqualified scalar types [...] and cv-qualified versions of these types" is cruft that was accidentally left over from the dueling resolutions of CWG 1746 (which added "cv-unqualified") and CWG 2094 (which added "and cv-qualified versions of these types").

    [copy.ctor] Rearrange constructor subclauses (#2270)

    * [class.default.ctor] Create new subclause under [class.copy],

    descriptions in [class.copy]. Move a statement that applies
    during construction to [class.cdtor].

    * Fix cross-references for 'default constructor'

Author: Jens Maurer <Jens.Maurer@gmx.net>
Date:   Fri Jul 27 00:01:46 2018 +0200

    [expr.new] Use 'object', not 'entity', for new-expression.

    The term 'entity' is too generic here.
    Also move the specification of the non-array return
    value just before the array case, after the description
    of the parsing disambiguation.

    [dcl.init] Rephrase "user-defined conversion sequence" (#2298)

    1. The conversion sequence is governed by the rules defined here. Saying "conversion sequence" here will cause circular definition.
    2. Overload resolution selects a function, not a conversion sequence.

    [editorial] Use struct instead of class to make example valid

    P0732R2 [1] was merged in Rapperswil, but one example is invalid because
    the constructor for A is private, so it can't be constructed from the
    string literal.
