Here’s the verbatim text from the official ISO C++ website, on the
page “How To Submit a Proposal” (found at
https://isocpp.org/std/submit-a-proposal):

[begin verbatim copy-paste]
    Float the idea.
    Post an initial brief description of your feature on the
std-proposals mailing list, including especially the problem it solves
and alternatives considered.
[end verbatim copy-paste]

If you want the nature of this mailing list to change, I think there's
a process for that. If you feel that an extra sentence fragment should
be tagged onto the above, something like "but not half-baked ideas",
then you can again lobby for the change.

I've no qualms about floating the idea on this mailing list of having
some sort of 'prvalue' thingie that can be passed to template
functions that have forwarding-reference parameters, with the aim that
the implementation of the template function can emplace the PRvalue
into a variable without the need for a move/copy operation.

I do realise though that you and I have different qualms.
