Description

#8658 changed the former to not hyphenate "potentially evaluated". [intro.execution] defines the term "potentially-evaluated subexpression", so that term is still hyphenated. And then [expr.const.defns]/2 juxtaposes the two terms for maximum contrast.

Should the latter be unhyphenated for consistency?

Research direction

Compare the terminology in [intro.execution] and [expr.const.defns]/2 with the change from #8658. Decide whether “potentially-evaluated subexpression” should also be unhyphenated for consistency, then update the draft wording if that decision is accepted.
