   The for-loop is C++. That syntax is one of the improvements in C++11.   
   The other line is not standard C++.

   You say that as if it were a bad thing. It's actually key to being a   
   legitimate C++ extension. The standard says:   
      
       A conforming implementation may have extensions (including   
       additional library functions), provided they do not alter the   
       behavior of any well-formed program. Implementations are required   
       to diagnose programs that use such extensions that are ill-formed   
       according to this Standard. Having done so, however, they can   
       compile and execute such programs.   
      
   So a requirement for Microsoft was that every C++/CX program that also   
   conforms to standard C++ syntax, have the same semantics as the   
   corresponding C++ program, and all the new behaviour be triggered by   
   new syntax.
