[ISO/CS C++2023] Colons before bulleted lists #6999

@jensmaurer

Description

@jensmaurer

ISO/CS believes that a colon should precede a bulleted list.

We believe that bulleted lists are typographical whitespace that aids in conveying the structure of a sentence, but does not alter punctuation rules for the sentence. That means a colon in front of a bulleted list is only acceptable if each bullet contains a complete sentence.

We should come to a decision and document it on the "style guidelines" wiki page.
