Not sure that will ever happen.  It's hard to see how VSI can afford to
continue to make major changes to the traditional front end on all
platforms while also keeping up with clang on x86.

Have you tried the clang-based C++ compiler currently in field test,
which, as a side effect of being clang, works as either a C compiler or
a C++ compiler?  I suspect that will be the path forward for newer
standards.
