Now let's suppose that 3rd party library is added as a C++ standard library. Immediately the compiler vendor which has the bugs or does not support a C++ standard language feature needed by that library, and wants to be compliant to the C++ standard library, needs to fix their problem. This to me is a good thing.
I see no reason why the compiler vendor would choose to not support a feature, which prevents it from claiming conformance, but would choose to support a library which was just added to the standard in order to be compliant with it.
