		taylorius on Nov 9, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Three new utility functions in C++23 I definitely agree with 1. I find the inclusion of core language features in std:: to be rather disconcerting. I've always thought of std:: as a set of standard useful library functions, separate from actual language features.

That's what it is. It's a useful utility function over non standard compiler built-ins.

The alternative would be a new keyword, but then the go-to complaint would just be about c++ keyword bloat and source compat regressions
