 Microsoft C++ compilers complain about this style:
 (from src/lib/datasrc/tests, file factory_unittest.cc)

 {{{
 for (const char** config(configs); *config; ++config) {
 }}}

 obviously they don't correctly infer the type of "config" and take it as a
 function which can't be a left-value... IMHO it is better (and required
 until all Microsoft compilers are fixed) to use:

 {{{
 for (const char** config = configs; *config; ++config) {
 }}}

 BTW it seems all the files with this confusing style are in this
 directory.
