This document proposes an extension of the C++ standard library.
This is an informal draft for a proposal: its aim is to get feedback from other C++ users and implementers.
Basically, this proposal provides a starting point to use C++ as a basis for C++ build systems.
For this, it provides the minimal C++ header <native_build> which is implemented by the compiler maintainers.
It defines new types (which are basically strong-typed alias of std::filesystem::path),
a new templated function build(...) for building the project, and run(...) for running an executable.
It has also a permissive requirement: programs using `` are only required to work on the machine
