So compilers need to judge what is "perfectly obvious to any reader", now? And you're willing to deal with the fallout of different compilers having different conceptions of "perfectly obvious"?
That's... an ambitious project.
Maybe your time would be better spent convincing the C++ committee to define some more behavior instead of leaving it undefined.

The C++ committee exists to standardise the behaviour that major compilers implement. Trying to get them to define behaviour where there isn't already at least broad support would be putting the cart before the horse.
