And the second philox one seems to be https://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/issue4153

If they hadn't already been addressed, the two philox issues (and
maybe the subtract_with_carry one) would be more appropriate submitted
as library issues, not proposal papers:
https://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/lwg-active.html#submit_issue

The LCG one would be an ABI break, so not an option nearly 15 years
after it was standardized.
