Research direction

Start at [expr.prim.lambda.capture] bullet (10.2) in the linked C++ draft and compare its use of “capture” with the definition in [expr.prim.lambda.capture]/8. Done means the undefined noun usage is corrected to refer to the grammatical non-terminal and the draft wording is internally consistent.

Description

[expr.prim.lambda.capture] bullet (10.2) says

it is explicitly captured with a capture that is not of the form ...

There is only a definition for "capture (verb)" in [expr.prim.lambda.capture]/8.

Here it should be "capture" referring to the grammatical non-terminal.
