Apparently the author is planning new versions of those papers so WG14

I think that whether C2x gets an array-size feature of some kind is
relevant to whether such a feature goes in glibc and what it looks like in
glibc, but the fact that it will be considered in WG14 doesn't rule out
glibc considering such a feature without waiting for WG14.
