    [numerics] Remove some maths typesetting idiosyncrasies.

    * Remove several instances of manual spacing adjustments,
      where LaTeX's default spacing works just fine and is more
      consistent.
    * Replace \mbox'es with more idiomatic \text.
    * Improve grammar by adding commas before "where".
    * Improve source code by removing pointless newline-escapes
      and minor rearrangements.

    Delete redundant and wrong example

    1. Returning/casting to rvalue reference of *object type* is an xvalue. The example misses the "object type" part.
    2. A complete and correct list of xvalue expressions is just 2 (or 3? I'm bad at counting) paragraph below. So, fixing the example is not rational, better to delete it.

Author: Jens Maurer <Jens.Maurer@gmx.net>
Date:   Sun Apr 15 22:51:21 2018 +0200

    [basic.lval] Add array subscripting to note enumerating xvalues.

    Also add cross-references pointing to the normative statements.

    [dcl.array]: delete note about non-modifiability of arrays (#2048)

    This note doesn't mean anything and contradicts the fact that a non-const-qualified array lvalue is in fact a modifiable lvalue.

commit 78af2e2abed00a650013fca9819b40e3a134cff2
Author: Jens Maurer <Jens.Maurer@gmx.net>
Date:   Tue Apr 24 07:35:11 2018 +0200

    Order library comparisons canonically

    The order [==, !=, <, >, <=, >=] seems to be most common. Let's make it canonical and use it uniformly.

    [basic.scope.pdecl] Change "type-id" to "defining-type-id"

    ... now that _alias-declaration_ uses the _defining-type-id_ nonterminal.

    [algorithms.parallel.defns] Fix cross-reference to [algorithms.requirements]

    When [algorithms.general] was split into three subclauses (#1230) the
    requirements moved to a new subclause, [algorithms.requirements]. That
    invalidated the cross-reference in [algorithms.parallel.defns].
