If not, and it seems that there is still interest in the change, +you can try to rebase the pull request on top of the latest `master` branch and send a new +pull request, continuing the work on the feature. + +[abandoned-prs]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3AS-inactive+is%3Aclosed + ### Contributing to std (standard library) See [std-dev-guide](https://std-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/).
