 If we look up the definition of "controlling result", we find 3.9.2(2/2)
 which says "If the call is to a (primitive) function with result type T,
-then the call has a controlling result — the context of the call can control
+then the call has a controlling result - the context of the call can control
 the dispatching."
 
 This clearly defines a *call* with a controlling result, but nothing is said

 Modify the last two sentences of 3.9.2(2/2):
 
-If the call is to a (primitive) function with result type T, then the call
-has a *controlling result* — the context of the call can control the dispatching.
-{A *function with a controlling result* is one that can be used in such a call.}
-Similarly, if the call is to a function with {an} access result type designating T,
-then the call has a *controlling access result*, and the context can similarly
-control dispatching. {Again, a function that can be used in such a call is
-known as a *function with a controlling access result*.}
