   Hi,   
      
   I'm not sure what intention you had behind this post.  In the   
   introduction, under "Objectives" it says explicitly that it uses   
   extended C++ named C++/CX, and this is repeated few times on the   
   same page.   
      
   Your objection is like castigating somebody for saying they speak   
   "English" instead of "British English" or "English as a second   
   language".   
      
   Also, a question for you: many C++ projects can be compiled with MSVC   
   and GCC, i.e., they are syntactically correct ISO C++ programs.  Yet,   
   they rely on behavior that is UB according to the standard, but which   
   both compilers define in a useful way.  Since code exhibiting UB at   
   run-time is technically not "valid C++ code", should the authors of   
   such projects be allowed to say that they are coding in C++?   
      
   When criticizing somebody for saying "C++" when they actually mean   
   "C++ as compiled by compilers X,Y on platforms A,B,C", why do you   
   (arbitrarily) draw the line at minor syntax extensions, use of which   
   is fully avoidable [at the cost of more complexity/verbosity]?   
      
   (I agree that syntax extensions are easiest to spot, but that, IMO,   
   does not make such programs any more "un-C++" than syntactically   
   correct C++ programs relying on vendor extensions.)
