You took the checklist out of the PR template. Did you test this on your own first? |

If you can go back and edit the parts to show whether the language is or isn't, or has or hasn't have each of these concepts/features, I'd approve this!
If you can do it in the next few days, it should still count towards Hacktoberfest!

For this template, the intention is that these are more true/false types of things if the language supports it. So they would all have code blocks that specify true/false. (I realize no language has implemented this yet so you may not have known. The discussion behind is in #679 ).
