P2749R0 Down with "character" (Corentin Jabot)

[tahonermann]

SG16 reviewed a draft of P2749R0 (Down with ”character”) during its 2023-02-01 telecon. The following polls were taken.

• Poll 1.1: D2749R0 "Down with 'character'" should be included in the IS only if the updates to whitespace specification described in P2348 "Whitespaces Wording Revamp" are also included.
  • Attendees: 7

    SF	F	N	A	SA
    0	4	1	0	1

  • Weak consensus in favor.
• Poll 1.2: Forward D2749R0 "Down with 'character'", revised as discussed, to CWG for C++23 as the recommended resolution of ballot comment FR-020-014.
  • Attendees: 7

    SF	F	N	A	SA
    1	1	3	2	0

  • No consensus.

Though there was no consensus to forward the paper for C++23, there is strong support to continue work on the paper for a later standard; the rejection at this point has to do with a desire for further review and a desire to expand the scope of the paper to avoid introducing inconsistencies in core wording.

I'm retaining the SG16 label pending further review in a future SG16 telecon.
