We can't require any c++11 feature until we drop support for gcc 4.4. Or
remove support for non c++11. Because there are problems in the gcc 4.4
system headers that make using c++11 mode impossible (except on
b2g/android). I'm happy with removing support for non-c++11 mode now
that m-c is past next esr.
But starting to use C++11 features can be dangerous, as it will make
backporting harder.
