We have

.St -isoC-2011

for C11, and mdoc(7) documents

.St -isoC-2018

but doesn't say what it's for (is it C17, i.e., ISO/IEC 9899:2018?).

I can't find anything in mdoc(7) for C23 or any C++ standard versions.
>How-To-Repeat:
Write a man page that needs to cite C23 and C++20 (or any of various other C++ standards).
>Fix:
Yes, please!

 Would also be nice to have:

 .St -ieee754-2008
 .St -ieee754-2019

 On this particular point: Just googling this I found
 https://blog.ansi.org/2018/11/c-language-standard-iso-iec-9899-2018-c18/
 and this page says

 "The Current C Programming Language Standard – ISO/IEC 9899:2018 (C18)"

 so perhaps ANSI just prefers C18 to C17, I don't know.
