[cfe-dev] [RFC] C++17 Parallel STL ∥ a new project

[Thomas Rodgers via cfe-dev]

I don't have any specific objections just having a libc++ list and
having pstl discussions take place there. I also think there is some
general desire from the libstdc++ maintainers to potentially collaborate
with libc++ on standard library testing any.
