[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.
