No, you misread it.

You can use all the features of C++98 and C++03, as much as you want. And when 
your compiler supports C++0x, you can and should use that.

What you can't do is use C99. That's a different language. Using C99 in C++ 
programs is an extension at best, in any compiler. You're in uncharted 
territories when you do that.

If it works for you, great. Just don't expect it to work for anyone else with 
a different setup.
