I disagree that you *have* to use compiler extensions.  It takes discipline, 
but it's possible to write without them.  Most often it not compiler 
extensions, but the need to use a non-standard library that gets me.  
Standards can't cover every use case, and the C/C++ ones don't really cover 
enough.

Plus, it's not like Ada compilers can't have extensions.
