I don't see that at all, optional switches/pragmas/directives that
subset the language are in no ways violation of the standards. THe
standard only requires that you have a mode in which the standard
semantics and syntax is enforced. It does not prohibit other
possibilities (think of them simply as non-C++ dialects that your
system can support).

Alternatively, buy, build, or have built, a tool that detects this and
any other feature of C++ that you would like to exclude, and include
running this tool as part of your compilation
