Are there any package managers that treat changelogs as a first class concept? I end up looking for a CHANGELOG.md or a CHANGES.txt in the source code repository every time. The lack of standard prevents package hosting services being able to show changes.

ASTs typically discard comments, and that's usually what you want. The only time (AFAICS) that preserving comments is useful is for writing a code formatter. Could you write a formatter in terms of a list of lexemes? A CST is a non-trivial bit of code for one use case.

C++ no longer considers trivial infinite loops to be undefined behaviour! https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2024/p2809r3.html Spotted in the release notes for the latest clang.
