[sr #110286] Make it possible to request a specific (non-latest) version of a language standard

[Zack Weinberg]

Update of sr#110286 (group autoconf):

                Severity:                1 - Wish => 4 - Important          
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #2:

Because we have reports that automatic selection of the latest language
standard actually breaks various builds (e.g. bug #110879), let's treat this
as an actual bug rather than just a feature request, and as a priority for
2.73.  It is too late to do anything about it for 2.72, however.
