What is the problem with enabling C++11 features if possible? We do not expect
backward compatibility issues, don't we?

What about MSVC? It has C++11 enabled by default. 

Some of the new features of Boost.Test require c++11 support. I want to be able
to test it and I want users to be able to use it.
