3274. Missing feature test macro for <span>

Discussion:

There is no feature test macro for std::span.

For the purposes of SD-6, I think we want two values: 201803L for the original addition of <span> by P0122R7 (Jacksonville, 2018) and then 201902L for the API changes from P1024R3 (Kona, 2019). The C++ working draft only needs the newer value.

Status to Tentatively Ready and priority to 0 after eight positive votes on the reflector.

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4830.

1. Modify the Table 36 "Standard library feature-test macros" [tab:support.ft] in 17.3.1 [support.limits.general] as indicated:

   Table 36: Standard library feature-test macros [tab:support.ft]

   Macro name	Value	Header(s)
