I find this decision to be quite unfortunate, given that the last time I 
checked (although it has been a while) supporting C++11 would be fairly 
easy. If I recall correctly, the requirement comes from the use of 
`index_sequence` which can be easily replaced 
(https://github.com/boostorg/fusion/blob/master/include/boost/fusion/support/detail/index_sequence.hpp), 
and the use init-captures in lambdas which can be emulated with a little 
code gymnastics. Oliver, could you confirm this is still the case?

I am not objecting to this decision, which is for Oliver to make. On the 
contrary, I would like to volunteer to help make Boost.Fiber C++11 
compatible if accepted.
