        // 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

        // WinRT.  And Universal Windows Platform (UWP). So perhaps the

        // 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
