No, I don't have objections. :) I absolutely support switching to c++11,
and I'm happy to add back the removed nullptrs and scoped enum values
_after_ all ports switched to c++11.

- cmake port did the switch by http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/153315
- GTK did the switch by http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/150445
- Qt and Win confirmed that they are going to do the switch, but I'm
not sure if they already did it or not. Let the EWS bots notice us. :)

Patch is coming soon in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119266

But I suprised how c++11 became mandatory. If you had announced it
before pushing the FTL patches, we would have easily avoid the tons of
buildfixes removing c++11 features.
