Does C++11 add the C99 restrict specifier? If not, why not?

Viewed 7509

restrict is a C99 feature which is getting a lot of attention lately by allowing the compiler to perform "previously-fortran-only" optimizations to pointers. It's also the same keyword announced by Microsoft recently to be the underpinnings of the C++AMP specification.

Is that keyword actually in the FCD? If not, is there a specific reason it was omitted?
