I'm doing something that could benefit from c++11 constexpr and since there is currently no use of the feature yet I wanted to make sure it's okay to use them as documented in the contributing.md file.
constexpr allows us to define function that can be run at compile time or run-time. When an argument of a constexpr is a constexpr itself (a constant or constexpr function) the compiler will instead insert the result of the function call directly. I thinks this is something we should take advantage of.

VS2013 doesn't have support for constexpr so I guess this will have to wait :/
