Description

[basic] would make more sense if it appeared prior to [lex] rather than after. Conversely, [lex.separate] and [lex.phases] really belong in [basic], not [lex]. (We should also consider moving [cpp] to immediately after [lex] so that the top-level clauses are in a more logical phase-of-translation order, but keeping it in exile -- as an appendix of sorts -- has some merit too.)

Research direction

Start by locating the current draft sections labeled [basic], [lex], [lex.separate], and [lex.phases]. Review the issue discussion before deciding whether [cpp] should also move. Done means the section ordering reflects a settled, logically consistent translation-phase structure.
