Oh, I meant the list of members to initialize in a constructor (the list 
after the colon), that's not C++11 I believe.  I see it's all discussed 
in the gcc coding convention page.

And to complete my answer on the original subject, I think it's fine to 
wait until 7.12 is out before checking in anything that is C++-only.  
The wait has been long already, a few weeks won't change much :).
