+1

portability is really important. One of the points is that by giving 
means to assume a certain standard, we can write more portable code.

There has been lots of discussion about Boost.Thread, etc ... no need 
for that if you have C++11.

> Romain, will you be taking pull requests?

Yes. Definitely. I will carefully review them.
Can give you write access too.

I'm getting a good feel of what C++11 brings while developping Rcpp11. 
But I think it makes a lot of sense to write such an article with other 
people as well.
