Description

The implementation-defined nature of the contents for #include directives vary slightly, depending on whether "" or <> form is used. However, the term 'implementation-defined' is used for only the first form, and the second merely augments it. This makes it tricky to create meaningful cross-references in the index of implementation-defined behaviors.

Research direction

Review the draft wording for #include directives, comparing the <> and "" forms and how the term "implementation-defined" is used. The change is complete when the wording clearly distinguishes the two forms and supports meaningful cross-references in the implementation-defined behaviors index.
