It is actually a good thing that they delay modules. It is 
difficult to get right, but it is on a separate track so it can 
come before C++Next.

The most important parts of C++17 is related to ironing out 
language quirks and providing library additions: some significant 
improvements to meta-programming, file system support and C11 
support which brings in things like aligned_alloc.

There is a significant signal in reserving the namespace 
"std"+digits, meaning there will be a major standard library 
update in C++Next (related to "ranges").
