The newer MSVC's now have a /std: switch. You'll be glad to know it doesn't follow the same semantics as -std= because well, it's Microsoft.
The new MSVC remains completely undocumented more than one month after it has been released, so whatever /std: switch it does have is guesswork AFAICS. But yes, if the new MSVC has such a switch it is an advance over the previous versions which just offered a single level of C++ compliance, whatever it was, which the end-user had to understand exactly.
There's an official blog post about it:

Blog is not documentation. One should not be required to follow blogs or other social media to know how to use a compiler.
