 * MSVC supports only a subset of C99 and work-arounds are required in those cases.
 * Before 7.0 (partial support in 6.5) CUDA didn't support C++11. Therefore any
-  header file which is needed (or likly will be nedded) by CUDA should not use C++11.
-* C++11 features which are not widely implemented (including in MSVC 2015 and GCC 4.6)
-  should not be used.
+  header file which is needed (or likely will be nedded) by CUDA should not use C++11.
+* We should be able to use virtually all C++ features outside of the header files
+  required by CUDA code (and OpenCL kernels), since we have gradually moved to
+  compilers that have full support for C++11.
