-## New compiler check: check_header()
-
-The existing compiler check `has_header()` only checks if the header exists,
-either with the `__has_include` C++11 builtin, or by running the pre-processor.
-
-However, sometimes the header you are looking for is unusable on some platforms
-or with some compilers in a way that is only detectable at compile-time. For
-such cases, you should use `check_header()` which will include the header and
-run a full compile.
-
-Note that `has_header()` is much faster than `check_header()`, so it should be
-used whenever possible.
