A switch might be appropriate at some point in the future. C++11 has
been better received by the C++ community than C99 was by the C
community.  From the people I talk to it seems that users who are
still using C++03 are doing so because they have to stick with an
older compiler. If they have a newer compiler available then a
significant proportion are using C++11.

That might be partly because Microsoft's compiler defaults to C++11
(whereas it doesn't even support C99!)
