We use c++20 across the board.
However, the clang compiler only has partial support for c++20 in some older versions.
We should clearly document the minimum clang and gcc version required to build catalyst from source.
We should also add a guard for it in cmake, to terminate the build at config time if minimum compiler versions are not met on the system.
For how to do it in cmake, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14933172/how-can-i-add-a-minimum-compiler-version-requisite
