Re: [isocpp-lib-ext] LEWG(I) Weekly review - P2549R0: Should the output of std::print to a terminal be synchronized with the underlying stream?

From: Corentin <corentin.jabot_at_[hidden]>

Hey folks,
Victor kindly provided a new revision with wording to flush the underlying
stream upon writing
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2539r1.html

Please provide feedback on the paper/wording.
Given the support for the direction last time, if we don't hear objections
or new information, we will start a motion to send this paper to electronic
polling.


Thanks,
Have a great day,

Corentin.
