All DEC compilers which I have seen that extend a language have a switch ( usually /STANDARD) which causes the compiler to treat these extensions as (minor) errors and inform the user. People writing portable code should always specify such a flag. Failing to do so is like not 'lint'-ing one's C programs under Unix if you plan to port them elsewhere.
