Um, maybe you didn't realize that the person you are responding to is
saying the exact opposite. That is, "non-msvc" compilers should do
what MSVC says to do. The platform ABI (aka: what Windows says) is not
the problem; the problem is compilers that don't conform to it (ie:
not MSVC).

Oh, and it is definitely a choice to bring up a statement that you
famously provided no evidence for as evidence for the opposite of what
you want.
