Thanks for that!

We have the added issue that we cannot upload code requiring C++11 to the R
repo network -- it is deemed "not portable".  For that reason, our code in
Rcpp is not well tested for C++11, or at all for that matter.  

We put some hooks in two years ago and have been discouraged since.  We are
looking forward to using these features once C++11 becomes more widely
available and CRAN allows it.  For now, our hands are tied.

So I had recommended earlier that Thell just drop this.  I don;t think that
it is a fruitful avenue right now.  I am not happy about this but one can
only fight so many battles at once.
