Using C++ well has always been a question of judiciously selecting the feature subset that does what you need the sanest way. Looks like cognitive load for selecting that subset is increasing while the sane subset is getting smaller in relation to the bulk of the language.

In other news, downloading a single PDF from GitHub is an atrocious pain in the abdomen. I had to edit the HTML to get at that progenitrix-penetrating URL.

I've usually found clicking on "raw" triggers the download; but possibly doesn't work across all browsers?

Yup, works in Safari. I'll have to remember that.
