C++ Standards Lore Meme

C++ people simply enjoy arcane rules. They absolutely love studying giant quasi-legal documents and finding loopholes and creative interpretations of standards. It is essentially secular Judaism The only purpose of the Committee is to provide a steady stream of new lore Why was there an undeprecation again... std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator<T>::destroy template< class U > void destroy( U* p ); (since C++17) (deprecated in C++20) (undeprecated in C++26)

The meme presents C++ programmers as people who enjoy obscure, quasi-legal standards documents and endless technical loopholes. The punchline is that the C++ Committee keeps generating new lore, illustrated by a function that was deprecated and then undeprecated across language versions.
