Mostly to avoid the maintenance hassle.
Surely using a symbol instead of a literal constant makes maintenance easier
not
harder? Especially in this instance where the symbol intended for the purpose
already exists.
Also, the change makes the code a bit bigger and slower
even on non-Windows platforms.
You mean because of the extra printf conversion? If this is of concern, I
could provide an alternative patch which uses string concatenation instead of
a character conversion. Then code and speed would be unaffected.
