Description

https://github.com/ORNL/cpp-proposals-pub/blob/d8f530fa7698597ea99e37e593f7d88628812962/D1673/P1673.md?plain=1#L5630 ([linalg.general]) speak of "a function parameter whose type is a template parameter with Out in its name." We have exposition-only concepts now to talk about output and in/out parameters, so this language is likely outdated.

Research direction

Open D1673/P1673.md at the referenced [linalg.general] passage around line 5630 and read the surrounding wording. Check how the paper's exposition-only concepts describe output and in/out parameters, then update the outdated reference to a template parameter with Out in its name and verify the passage remains consistent.
