Hi Michael,

Just FYI, I tested you patch on Kubuntu 14.04 LTS without any issue.

Kubuntu 14.04 LTS uses gcc 4.8.4, which is not yet fully compliant with c++11 (it is a bit old).
(Most of current Linux distributions use a more recent compil version. So Kubuntu 14.04 LTS is a
good test to find issues related to c++11 option).

However I did not have problem.
So, technically speaking, your patch can be committed.

Having said that, I fully agree with Wayne, the final decision must be taken by CERN guys.
