Implementation defines the language, so if you use extensions to a language, you should add + ... extensions to the header.

E.g. for a C post using gcc extensions, the header begin with

# C (gcc) + gcc extensions

I think C (gcc) already implies gcc compiler extensions. Or that's how we have been using it until now, at least. It would be cumbersome to change that now.
