Chandler CarruthandRichard Smith 94d2c1c6d4 Make proposal filenames use 6 digits and include the title (#7245)
We've talked about adding the title to the filename several times over
the years and it seems really valuable. This requires us to compute a
"slug" for the title spelling that can be part of the filename.

Beyond that, we crossed 7000 recently, and so it seems likely that we
will need to add digits sooner rather than later here, so this goes
ahead and moves us to 6 digits so we don't have to adjust again for a
reasonable length of time.

To implement this and ensure we can sustain it going forward this adds a
tool to our pre-commit that validates (and corrects if needed) the
filename.

In order to update everything and keep links working, there are a _lot_
of changes, but the most interesting for direct review are in
`proposals/scripts`.

Proposal lists

Directory structure

This directory contains accepted proposals for the carbon-lang repository. For information about declined/deferred proposals, please view the proposal's original pull request.

For accepted proposals, where ###### is the corresponding proposal's pull request number (padded to 6 digits):

  • p######-slug.md will contain the main proposal text, where slug is a robust slugification of the title of the proposal.
  • p######-slug may be present as an optional subdirectory for related files (for example, images).
