How much "more specific"?

Take generics/templates as an example.
A number of papers, including
use cases, have been submitted
for 215, e.g. Tom's, Van's, yours.
A lot of discussion of these
already happened at 215, so what
exactly is the procedure for developing
this proposed new feature for WG5?
Plenary and subgroup discussions
of the relative merits of different
proposals and how they address the use
cases?

Is the aim to have a single agreed
proposal for this feature for WG5?
Or 2-3 different proposals for WG5 to
discuss and vote on?

Is the aim to have a sufficiently
detailed proposal on which the users
can comment in time for 218? 

Will there be any proposed syntax in 217,
or just a description in English of how
the new facility will work?

Sorry for potentially stupid questions.
Perhaps this is all clear to those who've
been there at the beginning of 2018, 2008, 2003, etc.

Thanks

Anton
