Hello!

I am feeling frustrated and feel a need to rant a little bit.

<- rant -

I have a feeling that many of the flagship features added in more recent
revisions of the C++ standard are half baked in that they are missing
parts that are necessary to make them useful.

As examples of this I would like to put up

* std::ranges
        Here we have an ongoing saga of adding stuff from ranges-v3 that
        is missing and even a roadmap for the things that someone think
        are most important to add.
        Here it feels like the most reasonable course of action is to use
        ranges-v3 and ignore std::ranges.

* std::format
        Here I tried to use it. I wanted to print a vector of unsigned
        values as 1.2.3 and failed.
        I then try to search the intenet for how to do it and finds
        fmt::join - because obviously this is a reasonable thing to
        do - but then I find that fmt::join expressly wasn't included
        when range_formaater was added for some reason.
        I then succumb to the other advise the internet gives:
        Ignore std::format and just use fmt.

* co_routines
        Here we have a framework that was added but is all but impossible
        to use without the thirdparty coro librarary but I see no moves
        towards adding that.
        Nowadays it seems all the work goes into senders/receivers which
        admittedly is a better design but it also seems to not need
        co_routines.
        Was co_routines a dead end?

There is much talk about the limited time that is available to the committe,
but adding half baked things to the standard wastes everyones time - that of
the committe when adding them it and that of the users when they have to
discover that it falls short of reasonable expectations.

- end rant ->

So, with that out of the system I would like to say that I am impressed with
many of the new things - Hana is a wizard - and looks forward to them
but I would like to not get more unfinished things added to the standard.
