In general I'm in favour of new C++ features. We decided to be
compatible with g++ 4.4, Clang 3.2, ICC 13.something and newer
versions of these compilers. This means that like half of the features
are not available. This does not mean that you can't use them, but you
will have to prove a fallback.

Which features do you plan to use?

Ciao
