Please note that daylight savings time ended in both North America and
Europe since our last meeting; *this meeting will start an hour earlier
than our recent meetings* (11:30am Pacific, 2:30pm Eastern, 20:30 European).

The meeting appears on the shared calendar, but no invitations were sent
to either the calendar_at_[hidden] or SG16 mailing lists due to
some recent changes to the calendar software we use (I can create
events, but can no longer add attendees to them; there are some known
issues with management of shared calendars in Nextcloud that are still
being worked out). If you need a .ics file to add an entry to a local
calendar, you can download one from here

This will be our last meeting before Wrocław and will be our last
meeting of 2024 unless something that requires our urgent attention is
raised in Wrocław.

The agenda follows.

  * P3258R0: Formatting of charN_t <https://wg21.link/p3258r0>

P3258R0 proposes enhancements to std::format() and std::print() to allow
strings based on char8_t, char16_t, and char32_t to be formatted by
transcoding them to the encoding of the format string. The paper is
partially motivated by the progress being made on reflection
capabilities and a desire to facilitate portable code capable of
formatting and printing reflected identifiers that might lack
representation in the ordinary and wide literal encodings.

Tom.
