OK, that sounds like a plausible excuse! :-)

It sounds like you can work around the issue by passing /I., though, right?

Yes, there are plenty of easy workarounds.

Overall the transition from cl to clang-cl was incredibly smooth. Thanks!

For the record, the only other problem I ran into that I haven't seen
mentioned elsewhere is that cl (as of VS 2015) accepts _try/_except as
synonyms for __try/__except, even though it's more or less explicitly
documented that they *don't* exist!

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2e6a4at9.aspx
"For backward compatibility, single-underscore versions of all the
double-underscored keywords except *__except*,*__finally*, *__leave*, and
*__try* are supported."

Jay.
