May be some confusion about MSVC language support and Windows API here.

Microsoft has almost /encouraged/ such confusion, e.g. with SEH 
exception handling, which appeared to be documented but which 
documentation was really only about the MSVC binding. Poor Borland had 
to do undocumented stuff for their SEH support. Makes Microsoft able to 
implicitly say, look, the others' products do not support all the 
features we support, we're the only ones providing full support, yah.
