I agree, this bug is an example of the issues we'll have to face moving |

So I don't have to keep email the entire item to the list, how about |
| 35 |
just adding it as follows: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
"Nor is c++11 code compiled with gcc-4.7 ABI-compatible with c++11 |
| 38 |
compiled with 4.8, and vice versa. An example can be see in ref. [2]" |
