Thanks for the answer. It's not what I'd would have preferred to hear, but
it's an answer alright.
Note: we are allowed to add C++11-only features, so long as Qt continues to
build. For example, the new QThread::makeThread will most likely require
lambdas and std::function.
In fact, I encourage people to add new, convenience API that is C++11 only.
Like Marc says, "C++98 costs more" and we want people to force their vendors
to provide support.
