So, on the one hand, we have an officially-documented function, specified
and guaranteed by MSDN. And on the other hand, we have an inference based on
observing a seeming pattern. I'd recommend the first. (Also, I had a very
quick step through it in a debugger, and it isn't ANDing the handle with 3;
somewhere in the first few instructions it calls CsrClientCallServer, and I
stopped looking at that point, but I figure it must be asing the CSRSS whether
it's a console or not.)
