        // include the version, e.g., 'amrv8').
        //
        // The (toolchain) VENDOR is also straightforward: 'microsoft'. Why
        // not omit it? Two reasons: firstly, there are other compilers with
        // the otherwise same target, for example Intel C/C++, and it could be
        // useful to distinguish between them. Secondly, by having all four
        // components we remove any parsing ambiguity.
        //
        // OS-ABI is where things are not as clear cut. The OS part shouldn't
        // probably be just 'windows' since we have Win32 and WinCE. And
        // WinRT.  And Universal Windows Platform (UWP). So perhaps the
        // following values for OS: 'win32', 'wince', 'winrt', 'winup'.
        //
        // For 'win32' the ABI part could signal the Microsoft C/C++ runtime
        // by calling it 'msvc'. And seeing that the runtimes are incompatible
        // from version to version, we should probably add the 'X.Y' version
        // at the end (so we essentially mimic the DLL name, for example,
        // msvcr120.dll). Some suggested we also encode the runtime type
        // (those pesky /M* options) though I am not sure: the only
        // "redistributable" runtime is multi-threaded release DLL.
        //
        // The ABI part for the other OS values needs thinking. For 'winrt'
        // and 'winup' it probably makes sense to encode the WINAPI_FAMILY
        // macro value (perhaps also with the version). Some of its values:
        //
        // WINAPI_FAMILY_APP        Windows 10
        // WINAPI_FAMILY_PC_APP     Windows 8.1
