Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked polyscope commit for the intended gcc5 CI setup, then inspect the repository's CI configuration and the code snippets that fail under gcc5. Done means CI runs against gcc5 successfully and the template, tuple, initializer, and other reported compatibility failures are resolved.

Description

enhancement good first issue

gcc5 loves to erroneously reject code with templates/tuples/initializers. However, a decent number of people still use it, as it is the default in Ubuntu 16.04. We should make sure our code passes on gcc5.
