Recall that what's being proposed is adding a GUI library to a new C++
standard.  If you don't upgrade your C++ implementation, you don't get
the new C++ standard GUI library -- even if the standardized library is
designed to be compatible with an older C++ standard.

I personally don't think that a GUI library should be part of the C++
standard.  There are enough GUI libraries out there already,
cross-platform and otherwise.  But if such a library were added to the
C++ standard in, say, C++29, there's no reason it shouldn't take
advantage of C++29 features.
