But looking at this, it seems like something similar happened 12 years ago[1]. Why hasn't it been changed? [1] https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/1555.html

The working group said bring us a paper with the exact proposal, I haven't seen an update where someone did.

Is it because the impact of the change is too big? I mean, is that why it's hard to submit a proposal?

If you're starting a new project and can afford it, please for the love of the children, use a different systems language. In so many ways Odin, Rust, Zig, whatever are better. There will be growing pains with respect to collective knowledge and performance, but they are surmountable.

Context: I am a programmer and educator. I am so tired of informing people of these minutiae.
