My understanding is that the following issues will *not* be in the upcoming
TC:

  - CWG #106, Creating references to references during template
              deduction/instantiation

  - LWG #109,  Missing binders for non-const sequence elements

Neither issue has "DR" status, but I'd appreciate it if somebody familiar
with the actions of the committee would confirm or deny that these will be
addressed in the first TC.

Thanks,

Scott

You've cunningly picked my two biggest annoying "defects", the ones that I've hit
most often. You may be interested to know that both can be fixed without changing
the language definition by using call traits. See functional at www.boost.org.

Core issue #106 will not be part of the TC.  It had "ready"
status after the April meeting, but before the October meeting
someone pointed out a problem with the proposed resolution.
The wording was revised at the October meeting to address that
problem, but we had a general policy in the core language group
that we would only add really "trivial" fixes to the TC that
were crafted on-the-fly at the meeting.  The fix to core issue
#106 is _not_ trivial, especially in light of the fact that we
already got it wrong once, so it seemed foolhardy to rush it
into the TC.  We _really_ didn't want to put an "oops" into the
TC if we could avoid it.

It's too bad that issue didn't make it in.  However, the gist
of the proposal has been known and uncontroversial for some
time, with only the specific wording in doubt, so I wouldn't
think there would be a problem for compiler writers to go ahead
and implement it as an extension that is _very_ likely to become
part of TC2.

I don't know about lib 109, but my recollection is that core 106
did not get into TC1 (if I'm not mistaken, there was a wart with
respect to cv qualification and so it was reworded at the Oct meeting),
but it is the intent of the committee that it will be in the next one.
