There is a large amount of FCPs open, and I think part of the reason is the large number of stabilizations that are targeted to become part of the 1.50 release. Things like:

* fold_first/reduce

* min_const_generics, arguably the biggest feature added (Edit: I just saw that the FCP hasn't started yet... this will be tight, maybe it'll only make it into 1.51)

* backtrace capturing and formatting as part of the standard library

* or_patterns might also make it into 1.50, we'll see

So I think it will be quite a big release!

I really hope they call it `fold_first`. If they call it `reduce` I will forever be thinking "which one takes the initial arg again?"

The question is currently being discussed in the stabilization PR. Let's see what they end up with. I don't lean either way tbh.
