[Moved to DR at the November, 2014 meeting.]
Proposed resolution (February, 2014):
Add the following as a new paragraph before 9.2 [dcl.spec] paragraph 2:
Each decl-specifier shall appear at most once in the complete decl-specifier-seq of a declaration, except that long may appear twice.
If a type-name is encountered...
Although repeated type-specifiers such as const are forbidden, there is no such prohibition against repeated non-type specifiers like constexpr and virtual. Should there be?
On the “con” side, it's not clear that such a prohibition actually helps anyone; it could happen via macros, and a warning about non-macro use could be a QoI issue. Also, C99 moved in the opposite direction, removing the prohibition against repeated cv-qualifiers.
