Committee Draft subsection: 6.1.2.7, 6.3.1.1

Title: merge predefined identifiers into one place

Detailed description:

The concept of predefined identifiers is found in two separate places:
6.1.2.7 and 6.3.1.1. The latter location is, I believe, historical cruft
from when __func__ was treated as a special entity. It would read better
to merge the two sections into one, and 6.1.2.7 is a better location.

Delete subclause 6.3.1.1. Replace subclause 6.1.2.7 by the following:

    6.1.2.7 Predefined identifiers

    The identifiers described in the following subclauses shall be
    implicitly defined by the implementation.

    6.1.2.7.1 The identifier __func__

    [[Insert the body of the present 6.3.1.1 here.]]
