I understand that. I agree the current code is broken. My question: If we're using a "less
than supported" version of the compiler, isn't this a GOOD error to get? Or is this something
that cmake checks for?
I guess, what I'm asking here: What happens if my version of Visual Studio is too low? Do
we support ALL versions of Visual Studio 2017? Or do we need patch levels? If we do need a
patch level, I think we should make it obvious by checking for that here (or by aborting during
the cmake step).
