-// Here we assign the current C++ standard number to LIBASSERT_STD_VER if it is not already defined.
-// Currently this check assumes that the base version is C++17 and if the version number is greater than
-// 202303L then we assume that we are using C++26. Currently, not every compiler has a defined value for C++26
-// and to some degree even checking for 202302L is not 100% reliable as some compilers have chosen to not actually define
-// the version number for C++23 until they are fully compliant. Still this is a rare case and should be fine here.
-// TODO: Once C++26 is fully released we should update this so the else instead uses the proper value.
