Hello internals,

Voting is now open on the Literal Scalar Types RFC, as announced in the
discussion thread earlier.

There are three votes on the RFC page, running concurrently:

1. Primary vote, requires a 2/3 majority: add integer and string literal
types.
2. Second vote, requires a 2/3 majority, independent of the first: add
floating point literal types. The RFC is accepted if at least one of the
two type votes passes; if both fail, it is rejected.
3. Third vote, simple majority, effective only if at least one type vote
passes: matching semantics, strict vs coercive. The RFC recommends strict
matching.

The vote started on 2026-07-23 and ends on 2026-08-06.
