Description
[basic.link] p14 refers to "constexpr variable", not constexpr variable, as if it was was a defined term.
I think that defining "constexpr variable" in general would be useful, and would create symmetry with "constexpr function", which is a defined term. However, I'm unsure how exactly to word it.

Research direction
Read [basic.link] paragraph 14 and the related [dcl.constexpr] wording in the draft. Compare how “constexpr function” is defined, then determine wording for a general “constexpr variable” definition and update the references consistently; done means the term is clearly defined and the paragraph no longer uses an undefined term.
