It seems a bit odd to allow use of C++11 features and yet still use C90 for
the rest of the codebase. I realize the C++ code is largely limited to
interfaces with lower-level libraries and bindings, but I would lean toward
C++98, at least initially. (That is, unless you've got a compelling reason
for rvalue references. :P )
