Hi Lars

To confirm: some of the use we're talking about is in public headers, such as 
std::enable_if and <type_traits>. They don't affect our API and ABI, but they 
require the user to have the ability in question in order to compile their 
application.

I don't think this changes your recommendation, but I wanted to clarify.

One more thing: I'd like a whitelist of features that have been tested and are 
known to work on all platforms.
