That's an "extension" that you can turn off:

There's other holes in their compliance, in fact I think there's only one
C++ compiler that fully implements the language (Comeau C++ 4.3.0), and
it's still in beta.  (http://www.comeaucomputing.com/features.html#msvc
has a nice list of nonstandard things in MSVC)
