-----------------------------------------
Picking up from Ben's comment here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1753?focusedCommentId=13679496&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13679496
I like the idea. Taking a fresh cut would certainly allow more latitude to
really improve things using the full C++11 feature set. Also guarantees
existing users are not disturbed. Makes the additional testing burden explicit
(which is probably good). On the down side, future C++ patches will need to be
duplicated with tweaks for the two branches. Given that C++98 is likely to be
important for some time to come this last point is worth considering carefully.
