Hmm, note that C++ is also used for LLVM/JIT, and by requiring this
additional feature set we are also imposing new requirements for those
users. This has not been fully explored, and I hesitate to add such a
new requirement at the last moment.
But how about this: We add the feature test that you propose and enable
the extension based on that. See attached patch. This reduces to
essentially a three-line patch, much simpler than all previous proposals.
