+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17([ext|noext], [mandatory|optional])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the C++17
+# standard; if necessary, add switches to CXX and CXXCPP to enable
+# support.
+#
+# This macro is a convenience alias for calling the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX
+# macro with the version set to C++17. The two optional arguments are
+# forwarded literally as the second and third argument respectively.
+# Please see the documentation for the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX macro for
+# more information. If you want to use this macro, you also need to
+# download the ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 file.
