I wasn't questioning that, I just wanted to illustrate why 
USE_CXX_FEATURES+=c++20 inflicts gcc12 on me.

Given most upstreams will probably respond "update to trixie!" or 
"why don't you use our docker container?", what would help is something 
like USE_CXX_FEATURES+= formally-c++12-but-c++17-from-gcc10-works.
Of course no-one will want to go down that rabbit hole, so I'll continue 
to patch locally.
