Ah, a final punctualization in terms of general philosophy: I *suspect* that
some people don't fully realize that the *default* mode is -std=gnu++98 *not*
-std=c++98, thus there is always the implicit assumption that people moving to
the new standard normally use -std=gnu++11, not -std=c++11, otherwise, even
without considering the special integer types at issue here, they will soon
miss quite a few gnu extension bits in many other areas. That's way, today,
restricting these still quite special interest specializations to the strict
mode still makes a lot of conservative sense to me. But, I repeat, I will not
object to patches tweaking the condition and positively reviewed by fellow
maintainers.
