 Finally, header units are more flexible than a PCH. With a PCH, you can't choose to bring in only one of the headers in the PCH--the compiler processes all of them. With header units, even when you compile them together into a static library, you only bring the contents of the header unit you import into your application.
 
-Header units are a step in between header files and C++ 20 modules. They provide some of the benefits of modules. They're more robust because outside macro definitions don't affect them--so you can import them in any order. And the compiler can process them faster than header files. But header units don't have all of the advantages of modules because header units expose the macros defined within them (modules don't). Unlike modules, there's no way to hide private implementation in a header unit. To indicate private implementation with header files, different techniques are employed like adding leading underscores to names, or putting things in an implementation namespace. A module doesn't expose private implementation in any form, so you don't need to do that.

 Consider replacing your precompiled headers with header units. You get the same speed advantage, but with other code hygiene and flexibility benefits as well.

 In C++14, you can introduce and initialize new variables in the capture clause, without the need to have those variables exist in the lambda function's enclosing scope. The initialization can be expressed as any arbitrary expression; the type of the new variable is deduced from the type produced by the expression. This feature lets you capture move-only variables (such as `std::unique_ptr`) from the surrounding scope and use them in a lambda.

 In contrast to an ordinary nested namespace, members of an inline namespace are treated as members of the parent namespace.

It also enables you to declare a specialization in a parent namespace for a template that is declared in the inline namespace. The following example shows how external code binds to the inline namespace by default:

 # User-defined literals
 
-There are six major categories of literals in C++: integer, character, floating-point, string, boolean, and pointer. Starting in C++ 11, you can define your own literals based on these categories, to provide syntactic shortcuts for common idioms and increase type safety. For example, let's say you have a `Distance` class. You could define a literal for kilometers and another one for miles, and encourage the user to be explicit about the units of measure by writing: `auto d = 42.0_km` or `auto d = 42.0_mi`. There's no performance advantage or disadvantage to user-defined literals; they're primarily for convenience or for compile-time type deduction. The Standard Library has user-defined literals for `std::string`, for `std::complex`, and for units in time and duration operations in the \<chrono> header:
