Thank you for taking the initiative here, and thanks also for updating

Yep, it's likely to be an area of heavy development. C++17 is (sadly) 
not likely to be in KiCad any time soon, as the older supported 
platforms don't have compiler support by default.

There's probably more, if you see anything deserving of a place, let me 
know, and I'll add it to the list.

Thanks again,

John
