Description
[stdatomic.h.syn]/2 says:
Each of the using-declarations for intN_t, uintN_t, intptr_t, and uintptr_t listed above is declared if and only if the implementation declares the corresponding typedef-name in [atomics.syn].
With P3248 the types intptr_t and uintptr_t are now required so they do not need to be listed. This seems to be something that was forgotten in the paper rather than an issue in applying the paper.

Research direction
Start by reading [stdatomic.h.syn]/2 in the draft and compare its listed types with the requirements introduced by P3248R5. Update the wording so intptr_t and uintptr_t are no longer treated as conditionally declared, then verify that the section accurately reflects the paper's requirements.
