He *might* also be referring to the part of C11 that folks malign

bounds checking to prevent common crashes & security issues.
There is also some rinky-dink GC in C++11 that nobody seems to like or
know what to do with:

Word on the street is that this will get removed. I wouldn't trust it
anyhow because it's weird and I'd just ignore it and use boost:shared_ptr
with glee.

What have they
added? I recall hearing of someone doing some language
that requires a runtime with garbage collection and trying to call it
C, which to my mind would be a huge mistake - is that C11?
That might have been D,
which seems potentially interesting.
