prettyprint98.hpp is not compatible with C++11.

[Mizuchi]

Use clang++ or g++ with -std=c++11 get an error::

/tmp/prettyprint.hpp:207:17: error: call to 'begin' is ambiguous
            if (begin(_container) != end(_container))
                ^~~~~

Here is a simple patch to fix this:

prettyprint98.hpp is not intended for use with C++11. For C++11, use prettyprint.hpp. I don't plan on putting too much effort in maintaining prettyprint98.hpp, by the way.

When using the 098 header and my C++ backports library that offers std::begin() and std::end(), I get ambiguous calls as well. This is easily solvable adding the above patch but since you say you might not be maintaining the '98 version anymore, I've started a fork that uses my library's backports (the above functions and enable_if, mostly) and should be able to provide C++11/C++1y and C++03 compatibility in a single header. Will ping you for interest when I'm done testing.

Could prettyprint have a wrapper header that uses a preprocessor definition to detect the C++ version and include the appropriate header?

I've created a fork that reunites the C++03 and C++11 featureset in a single interface, and will probably add some minor goodies such as the option of distinguishing output for dictionary-like containers. It delegates special casing things like arrays and valarray (that lacks iterators interface in C++03) to my personal C++ backports library.

Closing this for now unless you have a specific suggestion.
