Hi Niall,

I noticed that you referred to AFIO without the Boost suffix now
(unlike "Boost.Outcome"). Does this mean that while you will continue
working on AFIO you don't plan to resubmit it for review?

(I wasn't sure whether the uncertainty in the phrase "that might bear
fruit in any later review of AFIO in months or years to come" was
meant to imply that).
