   While pretty obvious, this does not feel editorial to me.

   [dcl.pre] p10 introduces "object declaration" (which, curiously enough, might also declare a reference). This would be a suitable place to prohibit "cv void".

   CWG 2020-12-07:
   C allows extern void var;
   A new core issue will be created, and deferred to the WG14/WG21 liaison group.

   [basic.pre] p6

   A variable is introduced by the declaration of a reference other than a non-static data member or of an object. The variable’s name, if any, denotes the reference or object.

   Presumably, an "object" must have object type.

   Should have been resolved by #6118 (4682d95).
