these features were only formally backported from dune-common.
In fact they were moved from dune-functions to dune-common.
When we (afterwards) decided to have a 2.4-compatible branch
of dune-functions we needed them there again and picked the
most recent versions.

Notice that these features rely on C++14. As a consequence,
backporting would either require reimplementing a good
amount of this new and hardly tested code or bump the
compiler requirements of the core.

Both would IMO go far beyond a bugfix release. If you
need this code in your application and are happy with
newer compiler requirements, why not depend on dune-functions?

Best,
Carsten
