Replace "could" and "might", Clauses 1-15. #4384
Conversation
Co-authored-by: Richard Smith <richard@metafoo.co.uk>
Thank you so much, @zygoloid! @jensmaurer, @opensdh: Richard has made some great arguments here for why "can" isn't always a good choice. So we will be seeing all these reverted cases on a CWG reflector discussion, I expect; I just wanted to point out this context. |
@tkoeppe, I actually think "might" is the perfect word to use for the possibility of risk. I'm wondering whether we should keep "might" for our working draft and just mechanically replace with "can" for ISO/CS' joys. |
Thanks, that's certainly an option -- or should I say, "we might do that"? :-) It wouldn't be open-ended issues, though; the proposal would very specifically consist of the remaining, unmerged diffs. |
These changes editorially remove the words "could" and "might".
Please review this change carefully with the following goals:
I would like all remaining instances of "could" and "might" to be reviewed by CWG/LWG, so please don't hold back on rejecting anything at this point.
