Re: [SG7] P2320 implementation

Hi Peter,

The expansion statement syntax was changed to "template for" (p1240 has
not yet received this update) e.g.

     template for (constexpr auto x : m) {
         char const * name = meta::name_of(x);
     }

However, there seems to be a bug
<https://github.com/lock3/meta/issues/296> where the name_of call is not
immediate.

As for the range expansion, we do not currently have an implementation
for this, and are considering changes.

Best,

Wyatt
