### (nominated) rust.tf/libs212 *\`Option::is\_none\_or\`*
Accepted.
Josh: Could folks also give feedback on the `is` [RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3573), please?
### (nominated) rust.tf/libs362 *Make \`ptr::from\_raw\_parts\` more general*
Accepted.
### (nominated) rust.tf/79024 *Tracking Issue for #!\[feature(async\_iterator)\]*
Stale nomination, already discussed (and deferred to wg-async + lang), un-nominating.
### (nominated) rust.tf/103765 *Tracking Issue for \`Error\` in \`core\`*
Starting FCP.
### (nominated) rust.tf/rfc3642 *\[RFC\] Thread spawn hook (inheriting thread locals)*
Amanieu: I'm concerned about the global nature of this. If the only purpose of this is to enable inherited thread locals, then we should do that more directly.
Josh: I'm curious what that implementation would look like. Would this essentially just be a spawn hook?
Amanieu: We could add an attribute in the thread locals.
The 8472: If that's possible, that sounds maybe reasonable.
Josh: If we already had a lang mechanisms for scoped contexts, would we use that for this?
(Discussion of that.)
(Let's defer until Mara is available.)
### (waiting on team) rust.tf/119550 *Rename \`AsyncIterator\` back to \`Stream\`, introduce an AFIT\-based \`AsyncIterator\` trait*
Not waiting on our team.
### (new change proposal) rust.tf/libs381 *Add method for computing the difference of two unsigned integers in a signed*
`fn checked_signed_diff(self, other: Self) -> Option<Signed>`
Discussion about naming and bikeshedding ensued. Conclusion: `checked_signed_diff` makes sense.
Ask author to change signature, then accept.
### (new change proposal) rust.tf/libs382 *Bring back \`subslice\_offset\` methods*
Action items:
- Return `Option`
- Rename `substr_range`, `elem_offset`
- Maybe add `subslice_offset`
Josh to reply
### (new change proposal) rust.tf/libs383 *Add \`FRAC\_1\_SQRT\_2PI\` constant*
Looks good, ping Mara for second opinion.
Josh to reply
### (new change proposal) rust.tf/libs384 *Add an mpmc concurrent queue*
- Needs a proper API proposal.
- Can we do this by just changing the existing types?
- Add `mpmc` or `channel` module alias?
The8472 to reply
### (new change proposal) rust.tf/libs385 *Add \`Iterator::as\_rev\`*
Reject. This doesn't seem sufficiently justified over just `.as_ref().rev()`.
Josh to reply
### (stalled change proposal) rust.tf/libs154 *Add \`core::iter::chain\` method*
Accept.
Amanieu to reply.
### (stalled change proposal) rust.tf/libs142 *Add \`take\_while\_inclusive\` method to \`Iterator\`*
Defer until we can do a full review of itertools for uplifting.
Amanieu to reply.
### (stalled change proposal) rust.tf/libs117 *ACP: Unchecked construction of \`core::time::Duration\`*
Prefer `new_checked` instead.
The8472 to reply.
### (stalled change proposal) rust.tf/libs255 *Adding \`set\_route\` to \`sys::unix::net\`*
### (stalled change proposal) rust.tf/libs248 *ACP: Add \`finish\_non\_exhaustive\` to \`DebugList\`, \`DebugMap\`, and\`DebugTuple\`*
