The story about the Crystalline author reminds me of of this thread where someone turns up to the C++ standard proposals group with some mildly cockamamie data structure he has invented: https://groups.google.com/a/isocpp.org/g/std-proposals/c/A1EHOFts_Tk https://groups.google.com/a/isocpp.org/g/std-proposals/c/A1E... This is a brand new thing of unclear utility, so after some discussion, Bryce Adelstein Lelbach, chair of the library evolution working group, writes: > I'd suggest moving this discussion to the Boost mailing list, which would be closer to a good fit for this work than the standard. To which the author replies: > I don't think so, sorry! I still laugh out loud when i think about this, two years later. I've even started using that phrase as a response to reasonable requests i just don't want to comply with.
