Certainly.  Rather than checking for everything, I think a code snippet
that just includes a few c++11-only headers would be sufficient and just
assume if those are there then you have a working c++11 std library.
That's all we're doing with the std=c++11 check anyways; i.e. we're
assuming that there's no need to specifically check for support of
range-for loops and lambda expressions separately.  Partial standard
implementation is less of an issue these days I think than in the early
C++11 years.
