Thanks for catching that.  Sorry, I thought they
supported it, it's been in the standard for what,
12 years now?

Unfortunately, MSVC shamefully sticks to C89, with very little of C99 supported. The main argument being that you can achieve the same in C++ and that there's no customer request, so they won't put any effort in it.
