IIRC, we want to enable MS extensions by default on Win32. So when someone wants to compile ObjC under Windows (it could happen - maybe someone wants to try to port Cocoa to Windows), he would get MS+ObjC.

It's something to keep in mind, at least. If we decide that there's no way to disambiguate this case, we would have to emit an error when MS exts are enabled in ObjC.
