And on Windows, it also comes with the OS (two of them since Win10), but
without any headers, so the compilers supply them. They also don't evolve,
almost ever: while UCRT is getting some updates, I don't see much going on and
particularly not in the C portions. CRTDLL is obviously frozen since the late
1990s and lacks even C99 support.
