## Core Team Update on SE-0246

Hi everyone – this proposal remains accepted, but is currently not implemented in the Swift standard library due to potential source-breaking changes that require improvements to the typechecker to avoid, as [described above](https://forums.swift.org/t/accepted-with-modifications-se-0246-generic-math-functions/22244/25) by @scanon

In the mean-time, users looking for this functionality can consider using the recently released [Swift Numerics](https://github.com/apple/swift-numerics) package, which contains the same code within its [Real](https://github.com/apple/swift-numerics/blob/master/Sources/Real/README.md) module.
