There is, I think a big difference between an AD writing

(a) "Here is the fix for my problem"
and
(b) "Here is my proposal for one way to fix this issue; there may of
course be other ways to do so, so please let me know what the WG
prefers to do."

But that takes time to type in, and an overloaded AD (or reviewer)
will be very tempted just to write "Suggested fix:".

Maybe we should assign specific (b) semantics to SUGGESTION and
use that as shorthand?
