We have announced only core language feature completeness, the library was known to be incomplete. And, I think for 4.9 the library C++11 support is still meant to be experimental because of the ABI issues, where we know we'll need to change std::string, std::list etc., but are waiting for Dodji's ABI verification stuff before we are confident we can do all those changes safely.
