Everything in the library is usable in (and being tested on) C++11, but the 
examples use a few C++14 features here and there, mostly the _t variants of 
the standard type traits and polymorphic lambdas.

Now that we have _t traits in Boost.TypeTraits (on the develop branch for 
now), I could in principle make the examples use them instead, although 
they're clearer as is.
