Well, it is the standard that is delayed. Implementations are on 
the way. "STL" points out that Microsoft will follow GCC by 
implementing concepts, but that Ballmer had put the compiler on 
hold for a few years so they have to play catch up on the 
compiler internals first. If you have a defacto-standard in the 
compilers then ISO will follow suit, that's the purpose of 
standardization.

But modules ought to have been in C++11... so it is annoying if 
they don't get it in C+17.
