Those are nice and all, but none of them improve the public API or
usability of a library. They help the implementer, author, or
maintainer of a library but that's it. If a user wants to use these
features listed above, they can still do so in their own code by using
C++14 or later, even if the Boost library they are consuming is
written for C++11 (or C++03).

On the other hand features like `std::pmr::memory_resource` or
`std::variant` _do_ affect the public API of a library.

Thanks
