Well, that's a good sign for what's to come at least.

Will "-std=c++17" always be an option? In the transition from 17 to 23, I just 
fixed the code where it was needed, rather than change the CXX flags. However, 
if that will always be an option for compilation, it may be better to use that 
on older code when there's no plans to get crazy future-proofing it, but rather 
just maintaining old code so that it still compiles.

Regards,
Nick
