Some suggestions:

Forward progress guarantees: no macro (these papers really just add
definitions)
Inline variables: __cpp_inline_variables
Guaranteed copy elision: no macro (portable code should avoid or cope with
copies)
Expression evaluation order: no macro (portable code should not rely on the
order)
Constexpr if: either __cpp_constexpr_if (matching the paper name) or
__cpp_if_constexpr (matching the syntax)
Selection statement with init: no macro (portable code can perform a simple
rewrite to avoid the feature)
Structured bindings: __cpp_structured_bindings

All the variant changes from Oulu should be covered by
__has_include(<variant>); I don't think we have a need to track them
separately unless someone chooses to produce a <variant> header that
doesn't match the contents of any working draft.
