Looking back at some of the review discussion, it looks like this was deemed OK because bit_cast would be available in the dylib even when compiling in an earlier language mode? But the declaration of the function is still gated on C++20 or above here: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/572d1ecccc473ba4ddb46dd04759dc2e336f0e1c/libcxx/include/__bit/bit_cast.h#L22 so this usage fails to compile before ever worrying about whether it links correctly.
