The compiler still has a mode in which it will accept only standard constructs, so if portability is your concern, you just always use that mode. I think that's one of the best benefits of a validated compiler with respect to portability. Go ahead and add features if you like, but I can always verify that my code adheres to only standard features if that is important to me.
