Header name preprocessing tokens shall only appear within a #include preprocessing directive (15.3 [cpp.include]).
However, that is not sufficiently clear that header-names are only to be recognized in that context.
Proposed resolution (May, 2015):
Change 5.4 [lex.pptoken] bullet 3.3 as follows:
Otherwise, the next preprocessing token is the longest sequence of characters that could constitute a preprocessing token, even if that would cause further lexical analysis to fail, except that a header-name (5.8 [lex.header]) is only formed within a #include directive (15.3 [cpp.include]).
Change 5.8 [lex.header] paragraph 1 as follows:
[Note: Header name preprocessing tokensshallonly appear within a #include preprocessing directive (15.3 [cpp.include]see 5.4 [lex.pptoken]). —end note] The sequences in both forms...
