[C++17 DIS comment 016] Add Foreword

[zygoloid]

[jensmaurer]

Suggestion: ACCEPT and do as they wish. (I thought they PDF-collated the Foreword in former times.)

[zygoloid]

They added the Foreword themselves for C++14, but in a way I was unhappy with; I ended up re-adding it myself. The relevant patches to apply are in the C++ Editors shared folder on google drive. (Let me know if you don't have access.)

[zygoloid]

#1746 is ready to merge.

[jensmaurer]

#1746 was closed, so presumably the secretariat told you to use their words, not yours?

[zygoloid]

I'm still waiting to find out what the correct words are. It looks like a list of changes since C++ 2014 is likely required, but it's not yet clear.

[tkoeppe]

How could one come by such a list at a moment's notice...

[jensmaurer]

@tkoeppe: http://wiki.edg.com/pub/Wg21albuquerque/SG10/sd-6.html#recs.cpp17 is probably a good start.

Or p0636.

Fixed in 6991154.
