C++26 Preview - The Smaller Features
summary
C++26 is two-thirds through design and many items already appear in the working draft and in compilers: precise edits include compile-time diagnostics via static_assert with format, deleted-functions that carry a user message, a portable debugger header with is_debugger_present, structured bindings usable as a condition plus underscore as a discard, a tuple protocol enabling subview for complex and string_view-aware APIs, optional becoming a range, and a new in_place_vector with try‑push APIs; some breaking fixes target std::to_string behavior.
