Due to name mangling changes required by compatibility with

the alias for WCHAR will change from wchar to wchar_t.
To get a head start on this, when you're writing interface code
to Windows, use WCHAR instead of wchar or wchar_t, and then
your code will continue to compile before and after the change.
Here's an example:

Could you please reply to my GitHub comments? I feel like all
this is seriously underdocumented, and I don't understand why
many of these changes are necessary.
