Yeah, it'll be an absolute nightmare to everywhere we use C++11, to
somehow make it build with non-C++11.

Such a thing would even be entirely impossible in the case of e.g.
auto, where the information is simply missing, so horrible macro hell
isn't even possible in such scenarios.

Essentially saying "all C++11 code has to be able to compile without
it" is mostly just saying "all C++11 code must not use C++11".

/me wonders if anyone would even run plasma on such "ancient compilers"...
