That it brings in exceptions, which are disable in many real-time and
embedded projects.
For instance P0829 proposes to remove std::array<T>::at() in
freestanding mode.
I reckon that the most viable approach forward is to introduce a free
std::at() function, similar to std::get(). This makes it possible to
have bounds check for types that do not support them, such as C arrays
or std::span.
