Yes, I would take either one right now. Our current code base was written
almost 10 years ago and until about 2017 one of our collaborators was stuck
VS 2010 so there was almost _no_ use of C++11, let alone GSL, C++14 and all
of the recommended modern programming styles. As we update each file for
bugs we like to have all of the clang-tidy warnings show up to remind us
what needs to be updated. The downside is just having to wait what seems
like forever for the functions menu to become available. I look forward to
seeing a few more "quality of life" improvements in this area added into
the next version.
