Description

[gram.key] says that some declarations introduce context-dependent keywords.

  1. How does a typedef declaration introduce context-dependent keywords, and what are they?
  2. Also, does a using-declaration not introduce keywords, but typedef does?
  3. Last but not least, are concepts missing from this section?

Research direction

Start by reading the linked gram.key section in the C++ draft and trace the referenced declaration rules. Determine whether the typedef, using-declaration, and concepts questions require corrected wording or added coverage. Done means the section's terminology and scope are resolved and the draft text reflects the agreed clarification.
