Personally, I think it's much easier to say, as a policy thing:
  Don't have W->A calls!
It's easier to detect (using winapi_check), it's easier to enforce,
and it's less confusing for developers (especially new ones).

Also, the way things are going, this makes sense from a runtime
standpoint, as calling an A function will most likely result in
an additional runtime A->W conversion down the road.

And last, but not least, there is a lot of code in Wine that
calls W functions with string constants, so it's not like a new
thing, it's accepted practice.
