I usually try to follow the guidelines in
<https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Comments.html>, which
pretty much match what you are proposing.

Note that for _MSC_VER in particular there is some trickiness: We
generally use it to tell apart different MSVC compiler versions. But it
is not present with MinGW. So !_MSC_VER and !defined(_MSC_VER) have
different meanings. So in this particular case, more precision in the
comments might be better.
