I think *some* C++11 features (e.g. std::unique_ptr) would make things
easier. However there are some which could make things harder, e.g.
type inference (auto) - it sometimes makes it hard to reason about the
code when you don't know what type a function returns. So yes, some
 C++11 features would be OK, but perhaps we could make guidelines for
it.
