Hi! Thanks for taking the time to request the library. Libraries that are not header-only take us a bit to add to the site, so this might take a while until it pops up in the live site, sorry!
I'd like this lib too. I'm willing to add it, I just have a concern: it depends on abseil (which is already one of the libs), but I'm not sure how to tell it where to find it.
