More like a “C++ [1] compiler”.

[1] restrictions may apply

To be honest, that's most C++ compilers.

Most C++ compilers still implement most of the C++ standard. This thing basically implements C, and adds methods to structs.

That's only technically true. The main C++ compilers in common use basically support, aim to support or have collectively agreed not to support parts of the C++ standard.

Those parts were ripped out of the standard. (The big one is export templates, where the expert compiler implementers when asked for feedback about how to implement it said "don't").
