About tracking issues

Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation.
They are also uses as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions.
A tracking issue is however not meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature.
Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.

There doesn't appear to be any blockers for the non-mut version, unless I'm missing something?

Visiting for T-compiler backlog bonanza. This seems likely to be ready to stabilize, but since I'm not certain, I'm tagging with "needs summary"

Also, we think the question of whether to stabilize these methods falls under T-libs domain, so tagging with that team label

@rustbot label: +T-libs +S-tracking-needs-summary

(@m-ou-se pointed out that this is a libs-api team issue, not a libs implementation issue.)

Cc @rust-lang/wg-const-eval but this should be uncontroversial

No concerns with this.

[dtolnay]

I'm marking @yaahc's box because she has stepped down from T-libs-api after the point that this feature got proposed for FCP.
