This enables the `edit-and-continue` debugging in +Visual Studio IDE's. + +Unfortunately, it is also extremely expensive and breaks certain use cases such +as link time code generation. Edit and continue can be enabled by manually by +adding `/ZI` to compiler arguments. + +The `/ZI` argument has now been replaced by the `/Zi` argument for debug builds. + +If this is an important issue for you and would like a builtin toggle option, +please file an issue in the Meson bug tracker.
