A few minor rearranging proposals in the minor fixes section
| - `register_scalar_function()` now checks that the names in `in_type` match | ||
| the arguments of `fun`, instead of silently ignoring them (#37761). |

This might be more than a minor improvement, IMO. At the very least, it might be good to be at the top fo the list?

Will put in breaking changes
| the arguments of `fun`, instead of silently ignoring them (#37761). | ||
| - `str_replace()` with an `NA` replacement now returns `NA` for matched | ||
| elements, matching stringr (@Gosling-dude, #33432). | ||
| - `summarise()` after `arrange()` now works (#45373). |
