Orthodox C++
Question @bkaradzic : What would be considered "selective" use of C++20? I'm planning on upgrading my C++ version for a game engine I'm working on. Any particular features in mind, or just keep using features that existed in C++17 that might have additional power in C++20 (for example, updates to constexpr)?
As a side note, personally, struct/enum/union without typedef, reference parameters, and constexpr are all I use from C++.
GCC and clang should introduce new switch: /orthodox
I've implemented it, pretty much. See https://github.com/d-musique/orthodoxy
It does the enforcement of programming rules that you mention.
It's quite recent and it works for me well. This thing was born out of extreme frustration with the ongoing ens*ittification of C++ to a point that I could no longer accept it.
This lead me to revise my approach to C++ programming to a large degree, and I judged this kind of tool to increasingly become a necessity. This has been on my mind for maybe a year or so but finally I dedicated some time so I could bring it to reality.

A simple implementation of this comes with asmjit. See Zone, ZoneAllocator, ZoneVector, ZoneHash, ZoneString. It is used in what amounts to compiler-class code that has to be light and fast. It delivers on that.
