+ Visual Studio defines __cplusplus = '199711L' in all its versions which is

+ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/preprocessor/predefined-macros
+
+ This document specifies that the macro _MSVC_LANG is defined since
+ "Visual Studio 2015 Update 3" as 201402L (default) and undefined in
+ earlier versions. It can be used to determine the C++ standard as
+ specified by the /std:c++ compiler option:
+
+ - /std:c++14 201402L (also if /std:c++ is not used)
+ - /std:c++17 201703L
+ - /std:c++20 202002L
+ - /std:c++latest a "higher, unspecified value" (docs of VS 2022)
+
+ As of this writing (02/2023) _MSVC_LANG is not yet used in this file
+ but it is documented for future use.
