As you wish:  http://uptown.turnpike.net/~scorf/cplusext.html

Note that templates and exceptions have each bred several 
refinements, resulting in a language far, far more powerful 
than that described in the ARM.  (Member templates, partial
specialization, and function template overloading are the
key refinements.)

Most of the interesting features haven't yet been implemented 
in commercially available compilers.  Still, a checklist sounds 
like a good idea for somebody's web page.
