Discussion:

Feature testing macro from P0202 "Add Constexpr Modifiers to Functions in <algorithm> and <utility> Headers" is missing in the WD.

For user convenience and to reduce feature testing macro count it would be better to stick to initial version of P0202 that was providing only the __cpp_lib_constexpr_algorithms.

So remove __cpp_lib_constexpr_swap_algorithms, define __cpp_lib_constexpr_algorithms to 201703L if P0202 is implemented, to 201806L if P0202+P0879 are implemented.

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4830.

1. Modify the Table 36 "Standard library feature-test macros" [tab:support.ft] in 17.3.1 [support.limits.general] as indicated:

   Table 36: Standard library feature-test macros [tab:support.ft]

   Macro name	Value	Header(s)
   […]
   __cpp_lib_constexpr_swap_algorithms	201806L	<algorithm>
