The lack of cxxstd:14 there is intentional. Describe is a bit of
a special case, in that even though the functionality requires C++14,
the headers can be included under C++11 or even C++03 and degrade
gracefully (into no-ops.)

This enables C++11 libraries (such as ContainerHash) to depend on
Describe without requiring C++14.

Now that we don't care much for C++03 I probably should add
cxxstd:11 there though.
