3058. "Program point" is not defined

There is no definition for the term "program point".

Suggested resolution [SUPERSEDED]:

Change in 6.5.1 [basic.lookup.general] paragraph 2 as follows:

There is a program point before the first token of the translation unit, between every pair of adjacent tokens, and after the last token of the translation unit. A program point P is said to follow any declaration in the same translation unit whose locus (6.4.2 [basic.scope.pdecl]) is before P. [Note 1: The declaration might appear in a scope that does not contain P . —end note] ...

[Note 1: The declaration might appear in a scope that does not contain P . —end note] ...
