According to 5.13.3 [lex.ccon] paragraph 1, a multicharacter literal like 'ab' is conditionally-supported and has type int.
According to 5.13.9 [lex.ext] paragraph 6,
If L is a user-defined-character-literal, let ch be the literal without its ud-suffix. S shall contain a literal operator (12.6 [over.literal]) whose only parameter has the type of ch and the literal L is treated as a call of the form
operator "" X(ch)
A user-defined-character-literal like 'ab'_foo would thus require a literal operator
However, that is not one of the signatures permitted by 12.6 [over.literal] paragraph 3.
Should multicharacter user-defined-character-literals be conditionally-supported? If so, 12.6 [over.literal] paragraph 3 should be adjusted accordingly. If not, a note in 5.13.9 [lex.ext] paragraph 6 saying explicitly that they are not supported would be helpful.
