Comment (by pbristow):

 OK - instead of my sticking plaster fix, I have

 1  'Complained' to Microsoft that this code is well-formed and should not
 trigger this warning, even with (no extensions) /Za option on.  Long term
 this should cure this persistent problem.

 2  Meanwhile, I have suppressed this warning in examples and tests that I
 am writing.


 >  Also, /Za is not turned on by default anyway.

 But users who try (even if perhaps ineffectively) to attain strict
 standard compliance, should not be inconvenienced by a massive load of
 warning messages, or worse by a failure to compile if their policy is to
 treat warnings as errors.
