Is there a way to track reflection support status in Clang?

(I'm going to be bold and assume the "no questions" rule is for questions about specific code, not about discussing the language itself)



I am extremely happy that we have reflection in C++26, however currently it is GCC only. I am using Clang on all platforms, so I am curious about when it will get reflection.



I tried searching and I found a bunch of experimental forks with reflection. I am not sure if those track the current version of reflection and whether one of these is going to be merged, or if a new implementation will be created. Github issues basically say "we get it when we get it" and link to LLVM discourse. On discourse I found just a thread that a meeting on reflection was held in December.


Do you know either when we are getting reflection, or if there is some way to track its progress for outside observers? Thanks!
