The sentence seems a bit clunky now, after a series of micro-changes. How about a bigger change that (I think) improves it:

…emporary objects" Fixes NB US 19-037 (C++26 CD).

@jwakely that sounds less clunky. I've used that wording except that I've replaced "temporaries" with "temporary objects". To my knowledge, the former is a colloquialism. |

Fixes NB US 19-037 (C++26 CD).
Fixes https://github.com/cplusplus/nbballot/issues/612.
We used to say "five" in this place before applying cplusplus/papers#156, which replaced that with "several" because updating the counter each time is a bit silly.
However, this does lose the clarity that the list of lifetime extension contexts in [class.temporary] is exhaustive, so we need to add something like "all listed below" if don't want a counter but clearly have an exhaustive list.
