/Za is broken - don't use it!

And I've just fallen foul of /Za myself - yet again!

It seems to me that when creating a new console project using VS2010, Disable /Za is the *default*.
so you need to check every time that it isn't enabled. 

(I'd like confirmation from others that this is really correct - it seems a most undesirable
default?)

PS (I've patched common.js to change this - perhaps a dangerous move).
