Stephen Kelly 60a981ea8e Features: Enable compiler extensions by default.
Compilers enable their extensions by default, and disabling them
implicitly can lead to results which are surprising or non-obvious
to debug.

CXX_EXTENSIONS
--------------
Boolean specifying whether compiler specific extensions are requested.
This property specifies whether compiler specific extensions should be
used. For some compilers, this results in adding a flag such
as ``-std=gnu++11`` instead of ``-std=c++11`` to the compile line. This
property is ``ON`` by default.
See the :manual:`cmake-compile-features(7)` manual for information on
compile features.
This property is initialized by the value of
the :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS` variable if it is set when a target
is created.
