Outcome: Strong consensus (much stronger than the previous poll).

SA: It is likely that the German National Body will still want the changes from P2276

Summary

Strong consensus to move forward with this paper excluding adding .cbegin() and .cend() to span. The room considered the latter to be an orthogonal issue, which will require more motivation than was presented.

Note: P2276 was scheduled to be presented with this paper; however, due to a miscommunication the author was not present. P2276 will be given a chance to be presented.

Outcome

Strong consensus to move forward with the paper, excluding adding .cbegin() and .cend() to span. The paper will need a revision with wording, and won't move out of LEWG w/o giving P2276 a chance to be presented.
