It's rarely meaningful to tell how the `noexcept` is strengthened. Exception specifications are almost always strengthened from "nothing" (implicit `noexcept(false)`) to `noexcept` or `noexcept(Cond)`.
The only meaningful cases I know are exception specifications relying on `allocator_traits<A>::propagate_on_container_swap::value` in the standard. We seem to be allowed to strengthening them to unconditional `noexcept` (if not, there should certainly be an LWG issue), and MSVC STL is already doing this.
