Highlights

In this week's meeting, we promoted two RFCs to FCP:

  • RFC 1492 proposes to permit .. notation in patterns as a more general replacement to _, so that one can write a pattern like Foo(x, ..) instead of Foo(x, _, _, _).
  • RFC 1592 is a small amendment that corrects an oversight in the original well-formedness RFC, by making tuples require that all elements except for the last element be Sized (just as structs do).

In addition, [RFC 1358][] remains in FCP for another week as we discuss the precise interaction between custom alignment and packed structs. It seems that there is a difference in behavior between MSVC and GNU and it's not entirely clear which behavior to adopt.
