Yes, gcc at it is right now has switches which control
'something like' what we're talking about. True, not exactly
a list of deprecated features, I don't know of a compiler
that does exactly that, sorry.
I guess you really want to know exactly that since you might
actually implement it if there were a positive response
from users of some other compiler.
I would actually like "strict ISO conformance without
any deprecated features generates a hard error EXCEPT
for X Y and Z" so I could determine easily exactly where
my code doesn't conform ( by adding X, Y, and Z until
the compiler stopped rejecting the program).
