ok.. i am seeing doing gh actions for that branch, and then making sure it works with c++20 and boost 1.76... Those unlock coroutines, which will make my, and hopefully other people's lives easier.

That leads to the question about travis matrix and gcc versions.

    - if [[ $LINUX && $GCC   && $DYNAMIC ]]; then export CC=gcc-4.8; export CXX=g++-4.8; fi
    - if [[ $LINUX && $GCC   && $STATIC  ]]; then export CC=gcc; export CXX=g++; fi

Why gcc-4.8? Should we 'bump' it to something like 10, if not 11? Tests pass with both. I am curious why it was explicitly set to 4.8.
