2215. Redundant description of language linkage in function call

Section: 7.6.1.3  [expr.call]     Status: C++17     Submitter: Richard Smith     Date: 2015-12-17

Calling a function through an expression whose language linkage is different from that of the called function is explicitly called out as undefined behavior, even though there is a general provision that makes any difference in the types of the expression and function undefined. The special treatment for language linkage should be removed.
