We've observed the following things cropping up regularly enough to
address as 'frequently asked':
* Why isn't there a Carbon logo?
* Where should I ask questions?
* What are the prerequisites for building Carbon?
* Why aren't people willing to discuss certain topics?

The previous implementation model involved the caller of a function knowing what impls the function will need. With the addition of blanket impls and specialization to the design, that is in general no longer possible. Instead the caller provides a type which is used as a key to look up the impl, which is expected to occur during monomorphization, though we allow the compiler to employ other strategies when the set of impls is predictable.

Older versions of GDB (before version 10.1) don't work with the
DWARF v5 debugging format the LLVM uses. The error message
which GDB shows when this happens is a bit misleading though.
Provide documentation about how to deal with that error message.
There's an extra curly brace per @pacion, and a missing space in print was also reported to us on other forums.

Fix `-` -> `+` in `Distance`. Typo noticed by gingerBill in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_8lV0nwsc4 .
Also update factory function names `Create` -> `Make`, to reflect latest thinking.
This follows #1274 , #1325 , #1328 , #1336 , and #1347 . This has miscellaneous changes to the design overview without a particular focus.
Also adds some missing keywords to our list of keywords.

This is a proposal to make the Carbon experiment public.
We have not yet hit many of the originally suggested criteria for going
public. However, this proposal suggests that increasingly there is more
value to moving public sooner rather than waiting to hit these criteria.
We are increasingly unable to substantially learn more about the broader
interest in Carbon without it being public and we increasingly see value
in working with the industry to build and shape the language.
Given this, the proposal removes the old plan-of-record and suggests
a concrete set of steps to make the experiment public in the immediate
future.
This is not a change that we can make lightly to the project, and so we
worked to check with as many folks as we could first and all three
leads were unanimous to move forward here.
Note that this proposal was originally discussed in PR #1315.

This proposal establishes a plan for moving away from the embedded copy
of LLVM and instead downloading it with Bazel.
The goal is that after this lands, we will do a history-rewrite to
cleanup the repository. There are instructions on how folks can move any
in-flight work over to the newly tidied repo.

This follows #1274 , #1325 , and #1328 . It fills in the "Bidirectional interoperability with C and C++" section.

This follows #1274 and #1325 and fills in the "safety" section. It only covers our approach in general terms.

This follows #1274 . It mainly fills in the "generics" section, with smaller updates to other section.
