This is already provided by the D module system. Even if you were
to define a WM_CREATE in your code, it would not cause a major
problem with the Win32 name because you can disambiguate via the
imports. (That's also a minor hassle, but it is more rare for
these long names than a short name like WM anyway!)
My editor already autocompletes WM_* names anyway, but again, the
D module system can help with that too if you didn't want the
keyword based completion I use for that.
I just don't see any advantage here to counterbalance the pain of
changing it.
