> Also implemented decltype(auto)(x) (https://wg21.link/p0849r2) as a Clang extension.

I'd like to better understand the use cases for this. WG21 considered this as part of the feature and ultimately rejected it (fairly strongly, according to the EWG polls). From the meeting minutes, it says that the reason EWG disliked the idea is because of its expert-friendly nature and that this facility would present teachability issues. I tend to agree, so I'm wondering why we want to add the feature as an extension when WG21 explicitly rejected it (that doesn't seem in line with our extension policy: https://clang.llvm.org/get_involved.html#criteria).
