If something is agreed, it getsforgotten sometimes and the theme disappears into oblivion(for a few months :P). To prevent this, I've collected somehot-discussed themes, their history and their current state. Ihope this helps to avoid unnecessary discussions in the futureand finally cut off these issues (either with an officialdecision "Nope, keep as it is" or with an implementation).I've tried to stay as objective as possible, but if something seems to be too subjective, please let me know, so I can fix it. > > > > Thanks.

It's annoying that I have to manually count static arrays. On Monday, 11 May 2015 at 12:22:34 UTC, Dennis Ritchie wrote:+1, I have to go review why this was removed.
