Not strictly true. My old C++98 project no longer compiled
with the latest g++, because it contained things allowed in
C++98 that are no longer allowed in C++17. Some things were
relatively simple to fix, but others were quite painful to fix,
so I ended up using --std=c++11 as a workaround instead. In
the frustrating process of trying to fix things C++17 complains
about, I threw in the towel and decided to rewrite it in D
instead.

The fun with C++
the same expression means completely different things in C++98
and C++11
fon< fun< 1 >>::three >::two >::one
and there's no context change, it's parsing rules that changed.
