Nit: Instead of listing a bunch of functions and "Likewise" or "Ditto,"
I think we're using the shorthand: (func1, func1, func3): Use blah blah.
[Sadly does not extend to filenames.]

I would prefer that these function be listed explicitly -- it makes
searching through the changelogs a lot easier, but then I would prefer a
little better description of the change, too. The entry mentions
changing the interface, but it doesn't say how.

Lotsa "likewise"s here! :-)

Indentation looks off. Please double-check.

There's a lot less here that changed than this diff would indicate. It
is okay to tack on an extra sentence describing the new parameter,
leaving the rest unchanged.

it's a reference type, and TYPE_REFERENCE_TYPE will get us the
reference's type, either rvalue or lvalue.

This whole hunk is probably simplified or (largely) unnecessary if we've
agreed to remove struct type.rvalue_reference_type (from patch 1/11).

Our coding standard requires a comment before each function, even
trivial ones. [Please don't shoot the messenger!] Additionally, if these
are exported, the comment explaining the purpose of the function should
be put in the header and "See description in foo.h." (or similar) should
be sufficient for the comment ahead of the implementation.

Indentation? The line is also too long. See

The changed line is too long.
