This is a good example of what I said in today's WG14 meeting about C++ going overboard about applying changes to previous standard versions. Something should only be considered a DR for previous standard versions if what was in the previous standard version is unambiguously *wrong* - not simply if a new feature seems nice to have or more convenient to use.
