Comment 1. 
Category: Inconsistency
Committee Draft subsection: 6.5.2.2, 6.5.2.3

Title: An example uses an incomplete type in the wrong context

Detailed description:

6.5.2.3 example 3 uses the line:

    enum f { c = sizeof (enum f) };

but 6.5.2.2p5 indicates that the type is not complete at the point it is
used in the constant expression, and so a constraint is violated. The
example must be reworded or deleted.
