Description
[namespace.udir#3]
[Note 3: A using-directive does not introduce any names. — end note]
Whether a declaration introduces a name or not is significant in certain rules, for instance:
[module.interface#3]
An exported declaration that is not a module-import-declaration shall declare at least one name.
Since there is no other normative rule in the current standard that explicitly says a using-directive declaration does not introduce any name, hence, it's necessary to make the note be a normative rule.
