-**WINDOWS USERS**: The `mio::mio` target `#define`s `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` and `NOMINMAX`. The former trims down the surface area of the Win API to a minimum and the latter disables Windows' `min` and `max` definitions, so they don't intefere with `std::min` and `std::max`. Because *mio* is a header only library, these defintions will leak into downstream builds, so if their presence is causing problems with your build then, alternatively, you can use the `mio::mio_full_winapi` target, which adds none of these defintions.
