Are you referring to the statement in 6.7 that "If control re-enters
the declaration (recursively) while the object is being initialized,
the behavior is undefined?"  Or is there more somewhere?  This would
seem to imply that automatic blocking isn't required, but not that it's
not valid.

(This is curiosity, not a position.)
