PSC #144 2024-04-11

[Philippe Bruhat (BooK)]

The three of us met, and:

* merged the deëxperiment PR
* agreed we should additionally discuss if the now-stable features
(`try`, `extra_paired_delimiters`) should be included in the :5.40
feature bundle
* reported feedback from PPC implementors, which can be summarized as “life
happened, will get back to work soon”
* continued to triage latest reported bugs and look for release
blockers (Currently we have 8 potential blockers, though 2 are easy
documentation fixes)

Still open to discussion, and I for one am not 100% convinced it's a
good idea at this late stage, but here anyway is a PR to do it so at
least we can discuss it:

This seemed oddly agreeable to everyone, so that's now been merged.

$ ./perl -Ilib -Mutf8 -E 'try { say q«Hello, world»; } catch($e) {}'
Hello, world
