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?

Yup, and I still do. The documented names have worked for twenty 
years, why change them now?
