* Initializer lists and uniform initializations [1]. Where can we use
them and how? Spaces around braces?

* New function declaration syntax with trailing return type. Can we use it?
(I'd say yes but only if really necessary)

* Static assertions [2]. Are they preferred to BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT?

* Right angle brackets. `list<list<int> >` or `list<list<int>>`? (the
latter syntax was not allowed in C++98)

* Strongly-typed (aka scoped) enumerations [3]. Can we use them? Are
they preferred to old-style enums? `enum struct` or `enum class`?

* Should we prefer new classes and functions of the standard library
(std::) when they're also available in boost?
