Issue tracking the SG22 discussion of P2142R1 Allow '.' operator to work on pointers (Jim Buckeyne)

WG21 issue

ThePhD commented 11 months ago

Understandably, this can be analyzed by us, but honestly it does not need SG22 input. This is a language feature that can evolve through C++ separately from WG21, and does not require any coordination from WG14. Members of WG14 can feel free to send in comments about how much of a good/bad idea they think it is, though.

Given the paper author's response here: https://github.com/cplusplus/papers/issues/868#issuecomment-1201100562

I guess we have to leave this open until the time comes to have it seen, since the author is explicitly requesting a meeting. I will have to reach out to the author again to ask if they're interested in scheduling still or if they're not interested/too busy.
