libcu++
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Due to historical reasons, we have a ton of cruft in the code base. This comes from libc++ supporting compilation modes / platform that we do not support. This includes (not exhausting):
* Conditional `noexcept` support.
* We do not support any standard prior to C++11 so `noexcept` is supported by all compilers we target
* C++03 support
* There is a significant amount of churn around this, as it prevents usage of `using`declarations and variadics
* Unsupported platforms such as SUN / IBM
### Describe the solution you'd like
We should identify unneeded configurations and remove them to reduce code complexity
### Describe alternatives you've considered
We can leave everything as is, as long as we remember why we are doing it.
