General question for the authors, although this is not obviously reason for accept or reject. Did you consider bumping up version to C++17?
We have, and if I remember correctly several people brought it up last review. The C++ developer survey for 2025 [1] shows we probably wouldn't alienate too many people with the change. Right now I don't think removing the IF_CONSTEXPR macro, _v, etc. is sufficiently compelling to change to C++17 and refactor. C++20 would be more beneficial, but the adoption rate just isn't there right now. Matt [1] https://isocpp.org/files/papers/CppDevSurvey-2025-summary.pdf
