Description

[basic.scope] p3 refers to same types in one definition, and equivalent types in another.

When are two types considered equivalent, and what is the difference between that and them being the same type? There should be a forward-reference to the relevant section, and I was unable to find it.

Research direction

Start with the [basic.scope] p3 section linked in the issue and trace its references to the definitions of type equivalence and same types. Compare the terminology and identify the relevant section for a forward-reference; done means the distinction is supported by the draft and the reference is added to the wording.
