+## [Short title of proposed API change(s)]
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## Background
+
+[Provide the background information that is required in order to evaluate the
+proposed API changes. No controversial claims should be made here. If there are
+design constraints that need to be considered, they should be presented here
+**along with justification for those constraints**. Linking to other docs is
+good, but please keep the **pertinent information as self contained** as
+possible in this section.]
+
+## Proposed API Change (s)
+
+[Please clearly describe the API change(s) being proposed. If multiple changes,
+please keep them clearly distinguished. When possible, **use example code
+snippets to illustrate before-after API usages**. List pros-n-cons. Highlight
+the main questions that you want to be answered. Given the Abseil project compatibility requirements, describe why the API change is safe.]
