The [C++ Array Extensions draft 
TS](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2013/n3639.html) 
specifies how the C++ committee thinks VLAs in C++ ("Arrays of Runtime Bound") 
should work, and I think it has different semantics for lambda captures from 
those provided here =( In particular, it only allows the array bound expression 
to be evaluated a single time, so the array bound itself must be captured, 
rather than the variables that it references.

So, we have a choice: we can go with what you have here (which seems reasonable 
if we're providing the C-style VLAs), and we should do something different if 
instead we want to align ourselves with the Array Extensions draft TS and ARB 
semantics. If Array Extensions is going to become a full TS, then we'll want to 
align with it eventually, and it doesn't make sense to me to differ from it 
now, but it's not completely clear if that's going to happen (there seemed to 
be weak consensus at the previous committee meeting to abandon it).

Thoughts?
