The standards document isn't the same as a C++ implementation. The implementations are actually behind the standards, at least given current contribution levels. There are relatively few people making significant contributions to C and C++ in compilers. Funding for middle and backend features to compilers are a lot easier to justify and fund because it looks like more straightforward optimization payoffs. A lot of the effort put into C++ implementation work goes to keeping up with the pile of features added to the C and C++ standards every three years or so.
