David Stone is Highly Qualified
summary
Argues for reframing const debates into north const / central const and inventing alphabetized consts as a joke, then proposes a concrete alternative use of C++20 concepts: put a requires boolean expression inside a requires-block and allow repeating the literal requires token multiple times (nested requires-as-noop) so the semantic test stays the same; shows examples combining two different requires-style blocks into one long constraint to “look highly qualified”; no implementation or measurements provided.
