ES 3.1 is attempting to reach the stage where there is no *explicitly*
undefined behavior.  The same is true of Java.  There may, of course,
be undefined behavior as a result of overlooked points.  For example,
it is not explicitly prescribed by ES 3.1 that evaluating arithmetic
expressions cannot have side effects.
