Description
The term “literal” is used without definition except for the implicit connection with the syntactic nonterminal literal. The relationships of English terms to syntactic nonterminals (such as “integer literal” and integer-literal) should be examined throughout 5.13 [lex.literal] and its subsections.

Research direction
Start by reading section 5.13 [lex.literal] and all of its subsections. Examine how the English terms such as “integer literal” relate to syntactic nonterminals such as integer-literal, and clarify the definition and usage of “literal” throughout the section. Done means the terminology and relationships are editorially consistent.
