Description

Throughout the document, we use \placeholdernc{voidify}, but this doesn't make any sense.

https://github.com/cplusplus/draft/blob/b1ff1dfe415fdeb081c5571ad92fde2b8c506704/source/algorithms.tex#L13528-L13544

voidify is clearly declared as an exposition-only function template, so what is the \placeholdernc doing here?
