Apologies for not including titles with the paper numbers. The four
proposals in question are:
P2419R2 "Clarify handling of encodings in localized formatting of chrono
types"
P2508R1 "Expose std::basic-format-string<charT, Args...>"
P2286R8 "Formatting Ranges"
P2585R1 "Improve container default formatting"

 I could see either:
* P2508 is 202207 and P2419 is 202208, or
* P2508 is 202207 and P2419 gets a new macro (__cpp_lib_format_transcoding?)
