Full documentation for the standard library, written from scratch by looking at the source code - so hopefully this is reasonably correct/precise.
Some of the function descriptions are probably too concise to be easily understandable - we can flesh this out in the future.
Some of the type specifications aren't using valid Luau syntax; in particular, I've used "function" or "table" in a few places as a human-friendly notion that any function/table suffices, and the iterator functions just say that they return <iterator> without being specific as to what the signature of the generator is.
* RFC: Default type alias type parameters
* Update the motivating example to match actual motivating example
* Resolved review comments
* improved motivation for the feature and noted additional languages with this feature
* fixed terminology between 'argument' and 'parameter'
* brought back support for default type pack parameter values
* removed alternative syntax and described the decision between ':' and '=' in the design section
* fixed drawback text and provided an example
* Remove return type pack annotation from allowed type pack default values,type annotation syntax doesn't allow that to be stand-alone
* Generic type pack has to be referenced by generic type pack name (with ...)
A large number of changes to the HATRA '21 position paper. We've abandoned the 4pp limit, which allows us to add more detail to some sections, and use more appropriate wording throughout the paper. A rough changelog:
* Numerous wording tweaks
* Removed `\cite{???}`
* Added type inference section
* Introduction beefed up
* Abstract slightly tweaked

Restore the original sentence with tweaks; this seems like better wording since it highlights the importance of knowing the field name at compile time, no matter the notation.
