Motivation
The proposal process documentation currently suggests including the implementation along with the proposal. Proposals make sense for features that require up-front design or have complex or controversial API implications. Changes that do not require up-front design are better served with a pull-request for the change (and potentially additional non-proposal documentation).
Modifications
Adjust the wording of the proposal process to indicate that prototypes should be on a separate branch for reference.
Result
Proposals are made independently of the change.
