Thanks for the pointers.
The new feature I most want to use is "auto", which I'm happy to see
has made it into the working paper (I'd heard it had, but thanks for
the confirmation). See

Right now I notice that some C++ programmers avoid certain standard
interfaces, because of the complicated declarations they would have
to write to use those interfaces. Example:
std::multimap<std::string, std::string> some_map;
instead of
std::pair<std::multimap<std::string, std::string>::iterator,
std::multimap<std::string, std::string>::iterator>
iter_pair = some_map.equal_range(key);
write
auto iter_pair = some_map.equal_range(key);
