You mean that we should specify that C++ means C++98, C C90, etc.?

We aim to relatively old versions of the various standards.

For Java, the test suite uses Java 1.7, but we might support older versions of Java, I actually don't know.

Wrt to D, I have no idea how generations/versions of the language are specified.



Concretely, what problem did you have to fix that would have been solved by more documentation?
