/Za has been broken and useless for as long as I can remember, and
Microsoft doesn't seem interested in either fixing or deprecating it.
(See, for example,
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/486253/name-lookup-broken-with-za,
not to mention the fact that Microsoft's own system headers won't
compile with /Za.) No sane person should use it for anything.

Steven, feel free to pass along this message: please fix it or drop it.

Thanks,
