I think it's better to avoid that. Hiding the typecasts in the macros
doesn't really make things cleaner IMO. This is a case where the API
design forces us to use a typecast, so we might as well make it
explicit.

Note that for the specific case of WM_GET/SETTEXT, it would be much
better to use Get/SetWindowText which will do correct type checks. But
for messages that don't have a corresponding function we have to do
the typecast.
