Semantics are indeed clearer when using <>, but I think that in this context "" still conveys more about where a specific header comes from. I know it's not the whole truth, but "" is typically taken to mean "the header comes from our own sources", whereas <> is typically taken to mean that it is provided by the system. So if we now e.g. started to `#include <compat/msvc.h>` I wonder whether this would really result in code that is easier to understand, even if it is technically correct. I dunno -- I think I'll punt on the issue for now and drop the commit, because I'd rather want to not start discussing this in the context of this series here. I'm happy to discuss this as a subsequent step though. Patrick
