But this is only about getting env vars. - Any `try` function would probably not distinguish `=` and `\0` cases. - Josh to reply. ### Nominated - [4 `rust-lang/rust` `T-libs-api` `I-nominated` items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is:open+label:T-libs-api+label:I-nominated) - [[83342](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83342)] *Allow writing of incomplete UTF\-8 sequences to the Windows console via stdout/stderr* - Separate code paths for when stdout/err is redirected to a file, and for when it's going to a console. This only applies to the console case. Josh proposes solution 1. Seems fine. - [[86191](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86191)] *Add SOLID targets* - Panic/error on unsupported things? - Yes, we don't have a better option yet. - [[87907](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87907)] *Switch Instant to use CLOCK\_BOOTTIME* - [[87991](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87991)] *BuildHasher is no longer object safe in 1.55* - Already handled. ### Waiting on team - [1 `rust-lang/rust` `T-libs-api` `S-waiting-on-team` items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is:open+label:T-libs-api+label:S-waiting-on-team) - [[66358](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66358)] *Tracking issue for \`UnsafeCell::raw\_get\`* FCP finished.
