8.1.3.3 says that an associate name has the TARGET attribute if and only
if the selector has the TARGET or POINTER attribute.
In 12.5.2.4, there is extensive discussion about the relationship
between the dummy argument and the effective argument, where there are
conditions on the TARGET attribute of the effective argument.
Do the conditions on the effective argument in 12.5.2.4 need to say
"TARGET or POINTER attribute", or was using "the TARGET or POINTER
attribute" in 8.1.3.3 overkill, or is there a subtle difference that
makes it possible to mention only the TARGET attribute in 12.5.2.4, but
requires both in 8.1.3.3?
12.5.2.4p8-10 have extensive and complicated discussion about the
relationship between the dummy argument and the effective argument.
Should similar considerations apply to the relationship between an
associate name and its corresponding selector?
