+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11([ext|noext])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check for baseline language coverage in the compiler for the C++11
+#   standard; if necessary, add switches to CXXFLAGS to enable support.
+#   Errors out if no mode that supports C++11 baseline syntax can be found.
+#   The argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an extended
+#   mode (e.g. -std=gnu++11) or a strict conformance mode (e.g. -std=c++11).
+#   If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with preference for an
+#   extended mode.
