Then maybe use the "old way" - embedding the options in `LEXFLAGS`? The whole reason for introducing the new variables was to provide a way for these generated extra files...

To add - it's quite true that the force-rewrite of the variables doesn't work for passing a function - as mentioned earlier, had never considered that case. If that's a...

The unit test for `Append` (and `Prepend`) enshrine the expected behavior so it seems it would be hard to change. I think there are a couple of surprises - in...

Assigning to myself not to promise to implement, but so I can keep track of it.

On a fully setup Visual Studio environment, it populates the `MSVS` dictionary only with two keys: `PROJECTSUFFIX` and `SOLUTIONSUFFIX`. Looks like quite a bit of the rest of the MS*...

Okay, I think we should just close this. I can see tweaking the https://scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-man.html#cv-MSVC_VERSION wording a bit further. I don't know that I think it's worth further validating the value...
