@gregheo Regarding SE-0180, the proposal is in Active Review but there is already a PR opened that implements it. Is that normal?

@garricn: on an active proposal with its implementation already done: that happens from time to time, yep!

[gregheo]

@garricn normal, as Bas mentioned. It's not merged in, so it's a good chance to get an early look and then spot some issues as happened here
