For reference of anybody too young to remember: C++0x is what you'd have called what became C++ 11 back when the committee thought it might happen in 2009 or, worst case 2010.

The fact that their "2009" standard shipped only in 2011, after ripping out features everybody agreed were good yet never seemed finished, is why they moved to their current "train" model where there's a new C++ every three years, like it or not. The train will leave, if your feature wasn't ready well there's another train in three years.
