I know, that why I used the current form. Admittedly it's a maintenance
problem (likely to be forgotten in the future). If we add in -ansi, we
can just as well add -std=c++* (thus -std=c*), too.
I guess that's the safest option overall, unless Jonathan has objections
from a C++ standards perspective.
