Yes.

Not really, because it is actually part of C++0x, so it is not a real
extension in the traditional term. Instead, I would like to define a new
language dialect (-std=c++0x) to activate such behavours (that is,
implementation of DRs which are in WP status). There have been some talk
about it, but no patches yet.
