No, of course not.  Why do you ask?

The order of evaluation of the arguments in a function call is
unspecified.

Similarly, the order of evaluation of the operands of the + operator is
unspecified.

My impression is that you want both to be implementation-defined rather
than unspecified.  In fact, I think you've said that *all* unspecified
behavior should be implementation-defined.  As I recall, I (or perhaps
someone else) chose to focus on function arguments as a concrete
example.

Did I misunderstand you?  (It's entirely possible that I did.)
