		coldtea on Sept 14, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Std::visit is everything wrong with modern C++ Parent said "since C++11 the only feature I've seen that's worth the cognitive load is auto". This means that (ignoring the mis-dating of the unique/shared_ptr) he already admitted, his comment is otherwise accurate.

My point was that `auto` was introduced in C++11, not "since C++11".

I don't think the parent's "since C++11" means "after C++11" but, "from C++11 and onwards".

He explicitly said his reference was C++03
