+### Non-static data member initializers
+Allows non-static data members to be initialized where they are declared, potentially cleaning up constructors of default initializations.
+
+```c++
+// Default initialization prior to C++11
+class Human {
+    Human() : age(0) {}
+  private:
+    unsigned age;
+};
+// Default initialization on C++11
