The Beman Project: Testing C++ Library Proposals Before Standardization
summary
Community project that implements and exercises real C++ standard library proposals so they compile, run, and reveal design gaps before WG21 votes. Early work includes optional<T&>, execution library, any view and iterator utilities with a reproducible consistent project layout so modules build across toolchains. Implementations accept that interfaces may change during standardization and report interoperability, compile-time failures, and ergonomic surprises back to proposal authors.
