how would nullptr be useful with a macro-based switch? I actually want to do a 
sed s/NULL/nullptr/g on the complete code base. And I hope everyone can 
understand that :-)

Other features I really want to make use of is auto and lambdas. I think both 
will help to increase the readability and maintainability of the code base.
