Discussion:

P1902R1 introduced the feature test macro __cpp_lib_nothrow_convertible, but every other example in SD-6 of a feature test macro testing for the presence of a single type trait FOO is named __cpp_lib_FOO. This macro should be renamed __cpp_lib_is_nothrow_convertible.

This naming convention should probably be documented in SD-6 as policy.

[2019-12-21 Issue Prioritization]

Status to Tentatively Ready and priority to 0 after seven positive votes on the reflector. A convincing argument was that currently no vendor had published a release with the previous feature macro.

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4842.
