## Discussed Topics

### new release note templated
- Piepmatz: example guidance for how the release note snippets should look like?
- merged let's see how the contriubtor pick it up

### `null` behavior in iterator like context
- spread operator now treats it as the empty collection we want to spread 
- #16396 makes `each` treat a `null` as an empty `Value|null`
    - vote merge
- `where` rejects `null` as input type

### Parser prs
- Thanks blindFS
- brief chat about testing the parser
    - happy path tests
    - weird input is primary source of breakage, more tests needed fuzzing
    - portability to new-nu-parser
    - snapshot testing?

### PR chat
- Ian's refactors `List` wrapper abstraction, locale
    - sadly gotten in conflict -> likely better to close for now and redo if someone is available
- `get` planned `-i` short-flag: what is the best long flag
    - `--ignore-case`
    - `--insensitive`
    - Vote: `--ignore-case` clearer
