In my opinion the fundamental problem is that C++98 and C++11 are 
fundamentally incompatible in this area. In principle - more than 2 
years ago - we (I didn't do the work, for the record) could have decided 
not to implement and experiment with those C++11 bits and delay to the 
next global breakage of the ABI. Now, with so many releases out 
including the C++11 feature and a growing community using -std=c++11 all 
the time (some people even want it as *default* now that the Standard is 
released), I don't think just scrapping everything and going back is an 
option. Personally, I would simply vote against. Thus what we need is a 
front-end mechanism supporting the coexistence. This is a well known 
issue and front-end people are already working on it.

Paolo.
