    Build a C++11+ Extension module with pybind11. This automatically adds the
    recommended flags when you init the extension and assumes C++ sources - you
    can further modify the options yourself.
 
    The customizations are:
 
    * ``/EHsc`` and ``/bigobj`` on Windows
    * ``stdlib=libc++`` on macOS
    * ``visibility=hidden`` and ``-g0`` on Unix
 
    Finally, you can set ``cxx_std`` via constructor or afterwards to enable
    flags for C++ std, and a few extra helper flags related to the C++ standard
    level. It is _highly_ recommended you either set this, or use the provided
    ``build_ext``, which will search for the highest supported extension for
    you if the ``cxx_std`` property is not set. Do not set the ``cxx_std``
    property more than once, as flags are added when you set it. Set the
    property to None to disable the addition of C++ standard flags.
 
    If you want to add pybind11 headers manually, for example for an exact
    git checkout, then set ``include_pybind11=False``.
