I've split my 1702 proposal so as to decouple it from 
your 1447.  I'd tried to make a few changes to clause 7
to do much the same as 1447 does, but I was much less
thorough about it than you have been.  However, your
1447 proposal doesn't say much about queues, and I think 
there is a consensus that your treatment of dynamic
dimensions of an array is pretty much applicable to 
queues also (except, of course, that new[] doesn't
apply to queues).

Here's a document (both PDF and MS Word) containing
the 1447-ish changes that I've now removed from 1702.
My guess is that you'll decide you have dealt with 
almost all of it already, except that you'll need 
to say "and queues" in a few places....

Please shout if there's anything you need me to do 
about this.

Thanks and regards
