I completely agree. Can't we start to use C++11 soon. At least it has 
"auto".

I know a few of these rules were due to old compilers having problem 
with some of the C++ features (templates). Is this still a problem or is 
there other reasons? I know that Clang doesn't use "dynamic_cast" or 
RTTI for that matter.
