Are _you_ still willing to maintain backward compatibility with Windows 9x? Even mingw-w64 has been 
defaulting to Windows Server 2003 since 2007. Why would anyone build a modern compiler for such old 
operating systems?

With any Windows that is modern enough, wide APIs should always be preferred to ANSI ones, 
especially when the argument is constant. Almost all ANSI APIs (the only exception I know of is 
`OutputDebugStringA` which does the inverse) translate their ANSI string arguments to wide strings 
and delegate to wide ones, so by calling wide APIs explicitly, such overhead can be avoided.
