- It is still under discussion and has not yet been resolved. I expect
- that it will be resolved this year.
-
- It is a hard problem, with excellent arguments both in favor of and
- against all solutions proposed so far.
-
- Once it has been resolved, it may take a while for existing
- implementations to catch up to any needed changes. So the best
- advice so far is still to avoid dependencies in your code on how
- long a temporary will live.
