I can do it with c++11 except for one thing. Returning partially computed values from multiple statement functions. This is important because you don't want to transfer stuff from to and from the GPU if can prevent it. C++14 adds automatic return types which would enable functions to return types without having to specify them in full. MSVC 2013 Nov CTP actually supports this feature so it might not be to much of an issue.
Whilst on linux option 2 is my favourite I recognise that on windows option 1 is probably better although there are disadvantages. Thats why I prototyped option 1 and came across the problem with returns.
