Addressed by issue 2726.

Date: 2022-09-25.18:08:42

According to 5.5 [lex.digraph] paragraph 2,

In all respects of the language, each alternative token behaves the same, respectively, as its primary token, except for its spelling.

However, the primary and alternative tokens are different tokens, which runs afoul of the ODR requirement in 6.3 [basic.def.odr] paragraph 6 that the definitions consist of the “same sequence of tokens.” This wording should be amended to allow for use of primary and alternative tokens.
