Yes. Are you sure that you checked the most recent draft or FDIS? I find
only _w as identifier in the documents N3290 and N3291. Also, a new
normative wording has been added to 2.14.8:

"Some identifiers appearing as ud-suffixes are reserved for future
standardization (17.6.4.3.5). A program containing such a ud-suffix is
ill-formed, no diagnostic required."

This was done, because it is possible to read 17.6.4.3.5 in a way that
this would only be a library-relevant constraint. The addition to 2.14.8
*and* the renaming of the examples clarified that this is a
language-wide requirement.
