This is a problem.  At the moment, there is *no* difference in *any* compiler-supplied macro between -std=c++11 and -std=c++1y.  We don't have to use __cplusplus to key on, but it would be nice to somehow detect the difference between -std=c++11 and -std=c++1y.

Which would be fine.  But if it is there on tot today, I don't know how to spell it.
