I guess that nobody will mourn the removal of gcc 4.6 support, since
ubuntu 12.04 has been unsupported since 2017.
Pavel, would you care?
The next step is gcc 4.9, in order to get rid of boost regex. The oldest
supported ubuntu LTS (16.04) has that.
We could even try to go all the way to gcc 5, since the ubuntu 16.04
offers it too. This would give us the new C++ API and get rid of trivstring.
I have no idea of what constraints on compiler version we could have
from other platforms/distribution. Please tell me.
