@jensmaurer Could you have another look? |

Do we ever care whether an object is "named" or "unnamed"? Entities (such as variables) usually have names, and have associated objects. |
The paragraph was made dangling by P1787R6.

While "this way" is in normative wording, the referred way is moved into a non-normative note by P1787R6 (#[class.ctor]). It's probably wrong for nomative wording to do this.
Additionally, the paragraph seems already incorrect in C++17, because
auto s = std::string();seemly creates a named object in "this way". Temporary objects created in this way are unnamed, but I believe it makes more sense to say all temporary objects are unnamed.Fixes #5491.
