It's now been almost a week and there's been no update on the issue. I
think this is serious enough that I'm positive it couldn't just be me
that's experiencing this regression.

Can someone with access to MSVC 2010 confirm whether this indeed is an
issue, and whether it's actually a regression?

If I wanted to get a fix in for this, whom do I send the pull request to
(community maintenance team) so it gets fixed for 1.57?
