From: Aaron Ballman <compatibility.sg.chair_at_[hidden]>
Date: Mon, 30 May 2022 10:24:23 -0400
Our next meeting will be on Fri Jun 3, 2022 at 15:00 UTC
(https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20220603T150000&p1=tz_pt&p2=tz_mt&p3=tz_ct&p4=tz_et&p5=1440).

You can join the meeting at https://iso.zoom.us/j/5513145100

We will be discussing the following papers:

P2071R2 (https://wg21.link/p2071r2) Named Universal Character Escapes
Proposes a new character escape sequence allowing the use of a
character by Unicode name or name alias instead of by code point value
(e.g., \N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON}). The authors are
looking for feedback on whether this approach is appropriate for C as
well. Additionally, the authors are looking for evidence that \N is
used as a conditional escape sequence with behavior other than turning
it into N within a string literal.

P2558R1 (https://wg21.link/p2558r1) Add @, $, and ` to the basic character set
Proposes extending the basic character set to require inclusion of
three new characters. Note the related paper WG14 N2701
(https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2701.htm) which has
been adopted by WG14 for inclusion into C2x. The author is looking for
feedback on whether this is appropriate for C++ as well.
