At the risk of jumping in on a question asked of someone else: yes,
absolutely! (Not _all_ available features of course, just the ones

There are generally not that many nonstandard features you'd want to use in
a typical program, and using an ifdef forest to implement an abstraction
layer around those couple items is just fine.
