Note that we are actively pursuing usage of various C++0x features now 
(which you'll see more evidence of in the coming weeks), as GCC 4.4.x 
and Visual Studio 2010 both already support quite a lot of the current 
draft features. Since the draft is very near final voting, it seems 
relatively safe to start using these features now as they are not likely 
to change before the draft is ratified as a standard.
