   The beta of Boost 1.79 mention Standalone mode is available here, but there is no official release. And the doc still references Boost.JSON heavily, notably stating upfront C++11, but only later mentioning C++17 for standalone. The doc should be clearer, that this is a fork, and that C++17 is required. Should macros for standalone be removed then too? Also, any plans to re-namespace this standalone fork? Again, the doc mentions inline-namespace and thus co-existence with Boost.JSON being possible, but immediately discourages it hinting at the opposite. A clearer statement is needed. Large organizations inevitably end-up pulling shared-libraries from different somewhat-independent teams in the same process, so interop with Boost and Boost.JSON matter. My $0.02.
