What C++ standard should we be able to ask for? I think that at the
current point of time, C++11 should be reasonably fine for the asking.
That would have the advantage that we would have a few more STL
container types to choose from and some more functionality. I think
that we should be able to retire std-vector.hh as well (which is
basically there for ensuring that there is a data () member function I
think).
It would also be slightly less frustrating to programmers used to living
on the edge of standards (not that C++11 would be anywhere near the edge
nowadays).
Would we need some autoconf tests? Should we provide some --std=c++11
option or similar at least to gcc?
I am not knowledgeable enough on C++ standards to add anything to this
conversation.
I am willing to go as new as desired, as long as:
1) The person who wants to move newer will take the responsibility for getting
the code to compile properly under the desired standard,
2) gcc works properly under the desired standard (which I guess is really part
of 1
