2019. Member references omitted from description of storage duration

[Moved to DR at the October, 2015 meeting.]

According to 6.7.5.6 [basic.stc.inherit] paragraph 1,

The storage duration of member subobjects, base class subobjects and array elements is that of their complete object (6.7.2 [intro.object]).

This wording does not cover member references, which should also have the same storage duration as the object of which they are a member.

Proposed resolution (May, 2015):

Change 6.7.5.6 [basic.stc.inherit] paragraph 1 as follows:

The storage duration of member subobjects, base class subobjects and array elements reference members is that of their complete object (6.7.2 [intro.object]).
