Hi Tim, if you look in the history of the mailing list there's been a few questions surrounding c++17. But most of what I've seen is to have flags to turn on and off the c++17 parts of your code. I get it, and not impossible to do cleanly with boost macros, but kind of a bummer. It would be nice to have a larger discussion around CRAN c++17 based packages as now that the windows gcc version is bumped up to 8 working in 17 seems much more feasible. While most of 17 is "slice of life" features it's much nicer to write imo.
Is Solaris the only system that does not yet support 17?
