// requires the simdutf headers on the include path and linking the simdutf

//
// simdutf.h itself requires C++17 - it rejects older standards with an #error -
// so the backend is only compiled in from C++17 on. Below that the macro has no
// effect and the scalar validator is used; it accepts and rejects exactly the
