Author of the blog post here. I am limited to C++11 for this, and will be limited to C++03 for some related projects. I did say C++11 in that comment, as I am of course aware that C++ has "fixed" that issue, but I'm still entitled to my gripes. I find it odd that someone claimed I was not aware the issue has been fixed in later versions, when I specifically said a version. People seem to be very motivated to assume I'm wrong about C++... because otherwise they'd have to admit that their favorite language has flaws.

In any case, I revised that section to explain how even the "fixed" version in C++14 is still a paper-cut, and make the section hopefully flow a little better.

ETA: I replied to the right comment. I'm agreeing with you :-)
