<P>[Adopted at the November, 2014 meeting as part of paper N4268.]</P>



<P>According to 13.4.3 [<A href="https://wg21.link/temp.arg.nontype#1.3">temp.arg.nontype</A>] bullet 1.3, only
objects with linkage can be used to form non-type template arguments.
Is this restriction still needed?  It would be convenient to use
block-scope objects as template arguments.</P>

<P><B>Rationale (February, 2012):</B></P>

<P>This is a request for an extension to the language and thus more
appropriately addressed by EWG.</P>
