But does this actually matter?  If I understand correctly, more classes are POD under the C++11
rules than the C++98 rules, but are there any classes that are legal C++98 that require a different
layout under the new rules?  Can anyone produce an example of a real (and not a theoretical)
binary incompatibility?
