 By imference you do - so who are they?
 

11. nullptr for clarity and safety.

 Never understood that in C++ never mind C. NULL has worked fine for 50 years.

And it's been a hack for 50 years. Especially when it is just:
   #define NULL 0
You also need to include some header (which one?) in order to use it. I'd hope you wouldn't need to do that for nullptr, but backwards compatibility may require it (because of any forward-thinking individuals who have already defined their own 'nullptr').
