C++0x Feature Summary, Version 0

[Scott Meyers]

There are now enough new goodies in the draft for C++0x or accepted in principle
that I can't remember them all, so it'd be nice to have a summary of the state
of affairs. This is what I came up with off the top of my head tonight. It's
almost certainly both incomplete and inaccurate in places, so I'd appreciate it
if people could offer corrections. I'll then post a revised version.

Thanks,

Scott

You can search the latter (library summary) for "C++0X". The intent of
both authors of these papers is to update them after each meeting.
