I can only repeat what I said earlier: There is no question we will find a
gazillion of functions in the standard library that could be used inside a
transaction. Procedurally, we need to go back to SG5 -> LEWG -> LWG for
each of them, and it's going to hurt every single time.

Plus, until the audience (e.g. library implementers) are comfortable with
what it means to make a function fit for transactions, this will need
convincing and/or providing an implementation every time. I'd strongly
suggest to move the TS as-is and consider any additions as post-TS feedback.

(I probably won't be able to join the SG5 meeting today.)
