Description

I mean it doesn't work properly. I tried and I failed because of that issue https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/12858 (I suppose it is `won't do`?)
conan v1 has `msvc` compiler in settings.yaml so users (me in particular) expect it to work but it's not. It would be great to mention this in the yaml file with a comment like `# please don't use it in v1` and then in docs somewhere. A large error in conan client would be great too because now it's just a lot of `unresolved external symbol` and you're lucky if you notice one `ignoring unknown option '/dynamic'` warning.
