It has not (yet) been discussed among core WG (working
group) members.  It might have been discussed by the
extensions WG, but not while I was present.

It wasn't. And that means that we did not have a paper proposing it.
WG21 & J16 require a 'paper' trail for all work. Until that exists we do
not look.

What about
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n1353.html?

It appears that the paper has been around since before Curacao and yet has
never been discussed?

I suspect that may be the problem. It was, in a sense, premature. It
probably needs rewriting to conform with the evolution guidelines.
However, even in its present form it would seem to merit attention at
the next (Oxford) meeting.

Can anyone update me as to how Anthony Williams' proposal "Local Classes
and Linkage" was received by the standard's committee?
I ask because those proposed features are features that I would very
much like to see in the next version of C++ (since  , if accepted, they
would prevent unnecessary namespace pollution when writing our own
functors).

A link to the proposal for all those interested in this topic:
http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n1353.html
