Is this really the official course now?
When I joined the project, I was told that I should use TCHAR for all
user-mode stuff (except libraries), so people can easily compile them either
as ASCII or as Unicode versions.

I think that simply dropping support for ASCII isn't the right way to go.
The whole thing mainly boils down on a decision between WCHAR and TCHAR, so
why not use TCHAR here? This shouldn't be a big deal.
