Sorry to insist on that, but why forcing the use of c++0x or c++11 over
potential users who cant easily find compatible compilers ? Why not
"downgrading" the code to be regular c++ ? Think of the ones using older
debian/ubuntu stable, or the BSDs who stick to GPLv2 gcc 4.2 until a better
solution is found ?
