Very few functions would need something like that. The normal case
would be:

fooA()
{
  strdupAtoW
  fooW
  copy W back into A if needed
}

The W->A case is not a strdup, it's a simple WideCharToMultiByte.

Probably at least 90% of the existing calls to HEAP_strdupWtoA are
because of a W function calling a A function, which is precisely what
should be discouraged.
