He writes that 'const' in the proposed X3J11 language isn't workable, and that const and volatile don't "carry their weight."
His "hate", or rather "strong disagreement", is with the "noalias" qualifier. I mean, he titled a section "noalias is an abomination". If you wanted a real attention getter, then there's your pull quote.
If you think he "hated const and volatile with a passion", then how do you describe his distaste for "noalias"?
