I asked about plans for further C++11 support a while ago [1]. It seems unlikely
that alias templates will be implemented for Juno. (CDT is implementing C++11
features in the same order as GCC, and it has yet to catch up to GCC 4.6. Alias
templates were added in GCC 4.7).

I agree with you that it would be very nice to have them.
