Howard and I discussed the wording I proposed today and we're now on the 
same page with regard to the intent.

With regard to Corentin's suggested wording above, "abstract character" 
and "execution encoding" are not current terms in the standard (well, 
the former is inherited from our reference to the Unicode standard but 
is otherwise unused at present). P1859R0 <http://wg21.link/p1859r0> does 
intend to standardize new terminology, but we don't yet have consensus 
for what the new terms should be named.  I think we should avoid using 
candidate names until we have such consensus.
