A switch might be appropriate at some point in the future. C++11 has been better received by the C++ community than C99 was by the C community. From the people I talk to it seems that users who are still using C++03 are doing so because they have to stick with an older compiler. If they have a newer compiler available then a significant proportion are using C++11. That might be partly because Microsoft's compiler defaults to C++11 (whereas it doesn't even support C99!)
