C++ never makes any breaking changes.* It has only added things (with
the undesirable effect of making the newer and more useful things more
verbose than the legacy cruft).

[*]: … minus a few rare cases where the features had 0% usage, like
'export templates', so their removal wasn't at all controversial.
