+### std::make_shared supports arrays
+```c++
+auto p = std::make_shared<int[]>(5); // pointer to `int[5]`
+// OR
+auto p = std::make_shared<int[5]>(); // pointer to `int[5]`
+```
+
+### starts_with and ends_with
+Strings (and string views) now have the `starts_with` and `ends_with` member functions to check if a string starts or ends with the given string.
+```c++
+std::string str = "foobar";
+str.starts_with("foo"); // true
+str.ends_with("baz"); // false
+```
+
+### Check if associative container has element
+Associative containers such as sets and maps have a `contains` member function, which can be used instead of the "find and check end of iterator" idiom.
+```c++
+std::map<int, char> map {{1, 'a'}, {2, 'b'}};
+map.contains(2); // true
+map.contains(123); // false
+
+std::set<int> set {1, 2, 3};
+set.contains(2); // true
+```
+
+### std::bit_cast
+A safer way to reinterpret an object from one type to another.
+```c++
+float f = 123.0;
+int i = std::bit_cast<int>(f);

 ## Acknowledgements
 * [cppreference](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp) - especially useful for finding examples and documentation of new library features.
 * [C++ Rvalue References Explained](http://thbecker.net/articles/rvalue_references/section_01.html) - a great introduction I used to understand rvalue references, perfect forwarding, and move semantics.
