         + probably the pdf import "extension" was done earlier than we had font embedding support at a VCL level (Miklos)

             mark at the end of a paragraph, to apply as style to a new or existing

        + I see backtraces from sd and sc, so that doesn't help much to isolate it

     + feedback from mentees:
         + had some additional bsdtar.exe around
         + perhaps could restrict the PATH in lode to avoid such issues
           + good to not restrict the PATH in configure.ac (Michael S)
           + could do it in bashrc of people (Hossein)
             + provide instructions to people how to do this
             + would be opt in? (Miklos)
               + that's the idea (Hossein)
         + could do it the macOS way (Cloph)
           + fail if pkg-config is found, but switch to force it if you know what you are doing
         + bsdtar and python caused problems so far (Hossein)
           + bsdtar is preferred over tar in configure, could swap the preference (Michael S)
     + new blog post around range-based for loops:
         + draft: https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/?p=333&preview=1&_ppp=80c9dcc56f
