+# 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.
