> GCC 10's documentation describes the C++20 support as "highly experimental, and will almost certainly change in incompatible ways in future releases". I don't think we'll be turning C++20 on by default in Autoconf before compiler support stabilizes :-)

I thought c++20 because that's what (some) people are slowly starting to use, and c++11 seemed weird because compilers default to c++14 (at least gcc since gcc6 default to 14 iirc). And fwiw, __cplusplus (as Sesse mentioned) is defined in the c++14 standard.

This is what happens when a project doesn't make a release for eight years :-(

No, *this* is what happens when a project isn't released for 8 years:

Read Autoconf 2.70 release notes
"Oh cool! Autotest improvements! Somebody else is using Autotest!"
"Uh I'm among the contributors? What did I do?"
git shortlog v2.69..
"Ah, *I* did the Autotest improvements."
