I'm guessing that over the next year or so Clang will gradually add
C++0x features. First on Darwin, then Linux, and eventually maybe even
Windows.

So it would be nice if we have one or more Clang config maintainers.
Marshall works mostly with Darwin, so perhaps you could team with him
if Linux is more convenient for you.
