Now I'm wondering what I put for that one. I don't remember but I'm sure I wanted that too. Can we just have it all? More seriously, my slow brain didn't jump to C++ standard and all its implications discussed here. Fine tuning that question(s) might be worthwhile for future. Appreciate all the work that goes into producing and analyzing the survey. That's a huge service to the user community.
