  I think a lenient way of interpreting "fully standards-compliant" is
that the features of the C++ standard that the compiler implements are
implemented *exactly* like the standard specifies, and there are no
non-standard extensions (or, at the very least, there's a compiler option
to make it consider using them an error).

  Many of the most modern C++ compilers implement almost all the C++98
standard features except export templates.

  Care to give a concrete example?
