Agreed. I think there's sufficient (although not unanimous) agreement that
we should increase our default language standard; what we need is for
someone to work through the immediate fallout from doing so (particularly
in the test suite). Sooner is better: we need as much time as possible to
fix any issues uncovered prior to Clang 5. Sadly I don't have time to work
on this right now; volunteers would be very welcome!
