Hello@SethTisue , could you please point me in the right direction how a PR like this can get merged?

@sideeffffect we're planning to open up the standard library for new additions in 2.13.17 (https://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/drop-stdlib-forwards-bin-compat.html), we'll look into this PR for that release. 2.13.16 will stick to the old forwards binary compatibility, it's going to be a small release to support 3.6.

Given that both 2.13.16 and 3.6.0 have been released, can this PR get reviewed, please?@lrytz

IMO this is lacking a serious motivation. Is there for example a Contributors thread where several users express the need for these methods? Anecdotally, you need them; also anecdotally, I never came across that need. ;)

Also, for the PR as such, should it move forward, it needs tests.

I've described a use case for this herehttps://old.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/1eqqng2/the_simplest_dependency_injection_pure_scala_no/

In short, I believe converting between ordinary and contextual function is important and will be even more, once?=> in Scala 3 becomes even more popular.

But I'd be happy to open a new thread on Contributors, soonish.
