   Where should doc rules be placed?
   Athan's comment about it during gsoc - essentially to not put in the doc block itself as they will likely be used in future to source into HTML source doc and we will need to introduce post-processing to remove them.
   A problem: it’s fine for a single rule but there are multiple potential rules we might end up requiring depending on how many use cases we wish to support instead of outright skipping.
   For example ( with ref to what type of rule rust uses ),

   • compile_fail - A rule that says the given example block should not compile.
     It could be useful in cases of (...) placeholders which are present at places with a large number of input parameters.
   • standalone_crate tag - this is useful when we successfully make the doctest for single example blocks and move towards merging them together to improve performance. In our use case, at least all the example blocks of a single package can be merged together.

   I think a way to go about would be to look more into functionality to ignore certain tags while creating the rendered document.
   SO, I just wanted to know what is the future plan to render these documents, if any?
   ( if it will be done through Doxygen then it provides a way to ignore specific things and similarly could be found for other ways )

   I want to discuss about the following:

   1. In ml/strided/dkmeans-init-plus-plus API, the trials var is expected to be >= 1. How should I handle this in the implementation? Should I expect the user to pass in a valid trials? Should I raise an error or return NaN on trials < 1? Ref: ml/incr/kmeans/lib/init_kmeansplusplus.js
   2. Continuing our discussion in the GSoC meet, can I refer dindex-of-row? Also is order necessary for dkmeans-init-plus-plus too?
   3. Designing ml/strided/dkmeans-init-plus-plus API GOT CLARIFIED IN THE GSOC MEET ✔️
   4. How to benchmark ml/strided/dkmeans-init-plus-plus? GOT CLARIFIED IN THE GSOC MEET ✔️
      • Should I benchmark it like the rest of the strided packages by only varying len? or should I benchmark it on different values of other variables too, like k, M, N and trials?
      • Any similar benchmarks I can refer to? Can I refer to either ml/incr/kmeans or PR #2819?

   • I need some guidance on getting the test coverage to 100% for this routine.
   • Continuing with the above PR, how to structure the test files for routines where there are too many tests.

   This has been cleaned and just needs a final look: stdlib-js/stdlib#11989

   Could stdlib-js/stdlib#12253 be reviewed? This updates the normal MGF benchmarks/examples to include negative valid inputs.

   I wanted to discuss about:

   • Should we have parameter validations for rfftf, and the corresponding tests? Ref: feat: add fft/base/fftpack/rfftf stdlib#12002 (comment) ?
   • Do we generally prefer using @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-float64array, or should we have an explicit for loop with isAlmostSameValue? Ref: feat: add fft/base/fftpack/rfftf stdlib#12002 (comment)

   Just a quick question left: what is the reference used for math/base/special/truncn?
   https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib/blob/develop/lib/node_modules/%40stdlib/math/base/special/truncn/lib/main.js
