Nope, I'm saying it is a pointless change. If you do that, EVERY time you want to look something up, you need to rewrite WM.* into WM_* since that's what the docs say. And then EVERY time you copy/paste code from C or, again, the docs, you need to change it the other way. (and moreover, it won't even work, since like you pointed out, some enums have static if in part)
That's a big hassle... and what's the benefit? What do you actually gain by doing this?
Did you do a lot of win32 programming back in the day?
Yup, and I still do. The documented names have worked for twenty years, why change them now?
