https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/project/goals.md#language-tools-and-ecosystem doesn't note a code formatter as a goal. This maybe slipped past us as worth noting explicitly. Need to see what others think.

tracking issue: new approach for representing intrinsics in explorer

In [discussion with @jonmeow](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tEt4iM6vfcY0O0DG0uOEMIbaXcZXlNREc2ChNiEtn_w/edit#bookmark=id.nqnwjftv303t), I had some concerns about how we're modeling intrinsics in explorer. Specifically, I didn't want for us to end up with a large catalogue of predeclared...

The "choice types" portion of [p0157](https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/proposals/p0157.md) is now documented in `docs/design`, but the design for user-defined sum types exists only in the proposal document. That's a problem because it's not...

Let ` T = decltype(expr)` then: Define `*expr` be of type `deref(T)` equivalent to and implicitly convertible to C++ reference type `T&`. Define `&expr` be of type `underef(T)`. Allow `underef`...

Please consider changing `->` to `.` for pointer access

Long story short, `->` is one of the most miserable operators to type out. I have tried desperately to use alternatives to C++ simply on the basis of not wanting...
