(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5142) From WG9 minutes

[David Muxworthy]

Some agent acting for the WG5 mail server claims that my ISP
is a distributor of spam and asks for money to let mail through.
It will not even let me get to the mail server administrator to
complain.  Hence this message is sent to a subset of the WG5 list.

WG21 (C++) are doing that too.  They have a New Work Item Proposal to
SC22 (SC22 N4857, voting deadline January 27) entitled ?C++ Extensions
for Parallelism?.  The scope is to extend the 2011 standard with
"types and features related to parallelism?, but they are making haste
slowly.

The purpose and justification is:

    The purpose of this Technical Specification is to provide a
    reference for existing practice to gain experience with the
    design and pave the way for eventual standardization of this
    functionality in a future revision of the C++ standard
    itself. Specific design questions that are still being explored,
    thus making this not yet suitable for an IS, include (but are not
    limited to): how to express parallel and vector operations in an
    extended Standard Template Library style of composable
    containers, iterators, and algorithms.
