Thanks.

However, I do not see where a new project has it on the command line to 
the compiler. Using the _MSVC_LANG macro, the number sent to cout says:

201402

Although this means C++14, how many of us believe it will correctly 
compile against the C++14 standard without the /std:c++14 option present?

One anecdote with recent VS updates, if not set, the compiler has not 
always compiled as expected.  Plus, soon the default will be C++17. 
Expect the VS 15.9.x release to have that value, assuming past language 
compliance modifications, indicate future unexpected compiler messages, 
warnings, errors, etc.
