Subject: [PATCH] [lex.literal.kinds] Strike incomplete footnote

It may be that the notion of literal in C++ and constant in C
were at one point close to a 1-1 mapping, but that it not
strictly the case any more.  C++ has user-defined literals,
in C string-literals are distinct from constants, and C
specifies enumerators as literals too.

Rather thsn clean up the footnote, or make clear that the
correspondance is weak, simply strike it.
