So dropping MSVC 2012 for 2013 would give us six new features:

And additionally dropping GCC 4.6 for 4.7 would give us an additional
three new features:
* Non-static data member initializers
* Alias templates
* Delegating constructors
In yesterday's ESC we decided to on master drop MSVC 2012 in favor of
2013 but keep GCC 4.6 for now. (Which means that the features in the
upper list will presumably become available on master while those in the
lower list presumably won't. I write "presumably" because the theory of
the compilers' feature advertisements still has to pass the test of
real-life usage in that notorious toolchain killer called LO. Try
things out with caution first.)
Maintainers of active Windows tinderboxes (on cc, as of
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Tinderbox#List_of_registered_Tinderboxes>),
please make sure until, say, mid of next week (Dec 3) that they are
using MSVC 2013 for master builds. I'll then make configure fail on
anything less.
