Poem

🐰 A README most fair, now shining bright,
With avatars gleaming and words rewrite,
The C++ dreams take clearer form,
As credits are dressed in their finest norm,
This bunny hops proud of changes so light! ✨

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 107-109: The maintainer avatar img tags in README.md lack alt
attributes; update each <img> element for the maintainers (the three avatar
image tags shown) to include a descriptive alt attribute (e.g., alt="Ryan
Millard avatar", alt="hjmillard avatar", alt="krasner avatar") so screen readers
can announce the images while preserving the existing link text; ensure you add
alt to each <img src="..."> tag in the listed links.
