+# This variable requests the highest version of

+# will also be available and work. So, choosing 2015 here makes
+# available both `msvs_toolset: 12` (from Visual Studio 2013)
+# and `msvs_toolset: 14` (from Visual Studio 2015)
+# Note/TODO: it is not yet confirmed that earlier versions work with the the `Visual Studio 2017` os image.
