Reflect "Comments #198" in the design docs

[josh11b]

Proposal #198 was accepted but https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/tree/trunk/docs/design/lexical_conventions/README.md still says "TODO: ... comments", and that should be linked from https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/docs/design/README.md#code-and-comments . Since the design decision in #198 is somewhat surprising, it would be good to explain it and possibly the alternatives considered somewhere in the lexical_conventions directory.

Sounds good! You'll want to make sure you sign up for contributor access, see https://github.com/carbon-language/carbon-lang/blob/trunk/CONTRIBUTING.md#collaboration-systems .

[avinal]

I have requested contributor access. In the meantime, I am going through the discussions.

FYI: creating PRs doesn't require contributor access (see the last paragraph of getting access for an explanation of what access is appropriate when)

@eeshvardasikcm , it looks like @avinal created #2064 but did not finish it. I am not aware of anyone else working on this.

Hey @josh11b @eeshvardasikcm, apologies for not being able to complete this till now, last few months were very busy. I don't have access to a system till 20th Dec, as soon I get back, I will push my changes. Also no additional help is required AFIR, if something comes up I will ping you. Thanks for your understanding.

[eeshvardasikcm]

...I will push my changes. Also no additional help is required...

Okay. There's a different issue that I can do. Thanks for the update. josh11b is monitoring this issue.

[aswin2108]

[KAWALMEET-SINGH]

I want to work on this Issue please assign me.

[jonmeow]

@KAWALMEET-SINGH We typically won't assign issues. I've added some documentation for why. Please feel to work on it if you have time [a "good first issue" can help familiarize with the project], but please note aswin2108 recently sent out #2641.

[aswin2108]

Yeah, actually I was waiting for the review to happen! I was said that it was in the queue.
