Unknown. Pure madness lies that way so maybe the committee has come to its senses

You want the committee to focus on practical problems?! LOL. You are more delusional then them!
Recently they wanted to add a 2D graphics API to the language! Yeah, let's re-implement OpenGL ES.

This is your typical design-by-committee of a "Solution looking for a Problem". God forbid we actually have _standardized_ pragmas like we do for OpenMP.
The committee has only one motivation:
"Job security by obscurity."
C++ has a become a total cluster-fuck of over-engineering. It jumped the shark back in 2000 when they forgot the mantra of GOOD programming & design:
Keep it simple, stupid!
D seems to clean up some of this crap but sadly it not properly supported across multiple platforms.
> Now, one interesting thing in C++14 is binary literals (using "0b" a la "0x" for hex).
Hey, it only took ~40 years for a C based language to add binary literals! (It will only take another 40 to standardize pragmas such as struct packing.)
Using 0b is dumb. They should of used a letter that isn't in hex, say 0z1101.
Using '_' would of been nice but the C++ community doesn't really have a fucking clue about solving real-world problems. Witness
