What is the purpose of `prefercliruntime' #139

Closed mwpowellhtx closed 5 years ago

I only see it referenced as Content in one place. Other than that I do not see any other references to it throughout the work space, for instance, and only a couple of passing references to it elsewhere. Thanks for any insights!

Appreciate the clarification, thanks.
