[libcxx-commits] [PATCH] D125283: reverts "[libc++] Explicitly reject `uniform_int_distribution<bool>` and `<char>`."

[Eric Fiselier via Phabricator via libcxx-commits]

EricWF added a comment.

GCC ships this as an extension. I can't find a reason why the extension would be non-conforming or dangerous, and it seems like a safer way for users to generate `char` values, rather than expecting the user to correctly pass the `numerical_limits<char>::max()` to the constructor.
I think we should reach out to someone at Microsoft (maybe STL), and see how open they are to shipping this as an extension. If they're willing then we avoid the portability trap that we're trying to protect users from.
