Description
The spec places the definition of subsume in [temp.constr.order]/p2, but as I read it, subsume is defined in [temp.constr.order]/p1, with the qualification "as described below" to specify what must hold true in order to satisfy this definition. Can we turn these two paragraphs into a proper definition for subsume?
From my correspondence with Richard:
me:
This ([temp.constr.order]/p1) is the definition of subsume, not below. Below describes how to determine if P implies Q, as referenced here with "as described below". Please move definition here.
Richard:
I don't think I agree. We never define what "implies" means; this is just a warm-up sentence telling you informally what we're going to precisely define below. The definition below is the formal definition of "subsumes".
me:
As I read it, the "implies" part is defined "as described below", so it all works.
