Research direction

Start by reading WG21-P3154R3, the only referenced specification, and compare its requested deprecation with the current C++ standard-library behavior. The issue does not name files, tests, or an implementation scope; the issue note says PRs for C++29 features are not yet being accepted, so completion is not currently defined.
