But the standard also says (in the section on interpreting
entries) that for argument information:
"Except as explicitly specified otherwise, the consequences
are undefined if these type restrictions are violated."
So unless there's an exceptional situation described in
the entry, a conforming implementation can do whatever it
wants.
