Well, you are the second person caring enough about that matter and
post a patch on the lists, so my take is that there is no need to wait
for v13 to open, and that we should do that now also because support
for new MSVC versions gain back-patching. Something I think we should
have is also a new animal running VS2019 (no plans to maintain one
myself). I can take care of this patch, I just need to set up a VM
with this version of MSVC to make sure that it works.. One thing we
need to be careful is handling of local on Windows, this stuff changes
more or less at each release of VS.
