Committee Draft subsection: 6.5.9

Title: Tidy up of pointer comparison

Detailed description:

Clause 6.5.8, para 5-6:  The original wording (6.3.8) contained
a paragraph between these two.  The first sentence of this paragraph
has been moved to paragraph 5.  The second sentence ("If two pointers
to object or incomplete types compare equal, both point to the same
object, or both point one past the last element of the same array
object.").  does not appear to occur in the FCD.  The sentence needs
to be in the FCD so that all cases are covered.

Append to 6.5.9 para 6:

    Otherwise the pointers compare unequal.
