In discussion of #186196, it started to become clear that claiming full conformance to this feature was premature because there are still outstanding implementation issues and standards questions with the feature. Claiming full conformance gives users a false impression that we think the implementation is production quality and that won't change our implementation in breaking ways, but I believe that we want some flexibility here and it's more accurate to say we only partially support the feature at the moment. Note, this is not saying we expect to break the code from that issue, just listing where the discussion took place that led to this patch. >From 37fe7bcc3002ed9438a5429a836b42f4a38a1da9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Ballman <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 08:39:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [C23] Downgrade WG14 N3037 implementation status to partial In discussion of #186196, it started to become clear that claiming full conformance to this feature was premature because there are still outstanding implementation issues and standards questions with the feature.
