So it is! Can you please incorporate the fixup patch below? Other than

PS. I've been reviewing some other details of C23 recently. According to
the Editor's Report https://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3221.htm
the working draft that is closest to the official C23 Draft International
Standard is https://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3220.pdf
(There were significant changes and fixes even quite late in the process
so don't rely on earlier versions - I encoutered a bug when I did!)
