-# 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.
