I've been deliberately adding nothing to this thread ... but this is
unfair. VS2017.5 implements enough of C++ 14, let alone C++ 11, that
little code not relying on the correctness of preprocessor would notice
the deficiencies from the standard. Even two phase lookup mostly seems
to work now.

See

where apparently very soon now one will be able to turn on their
experimental C99 preprocessor implementation which surely will either
make Edward very happy, or unhappy depending.
