OK, so let's forget about 'wincall' and continue using 'stdcall'. Inventing new names for things already in existence is not a very good plan.
Why is Word a GHC extension? Someone remind me?
Hmmm, I thought that the Word type itself is a GHC extension, the hslibs docs for module Word only talk about the explictly sized variants. OTOH the implementation exports Word, but for legacy reasons, IIRC. If this is really the case, we should document this somehow in the sources. Cheers, S.
