  * [...] as result of those discussions we had consensus that what we have in the C++26 working draft today is the best we can do about it.

If you keep saying that despite sustained objections from growing corners, all you're doing is putting out and reinforcing the impression that WG21 has grown out of touch from its userbase and its output should be disregarded. That brings the question: what is the value of a standard that is regarded in practice?

True, it does not solve the problem, but it does mean that the problem has been recognised, acknowledged, the possible approaches to the problem have been discussed, and as result of those discussions we had consensus that what we have in the C++26 working draft today is the best we can do about it.

Cheers,
