The extension makes sense. I can think of several good usages of this extension. Applications using the extended functionality will not run under native windows. Therefore I documented the extension as Difference. Summary: Using the "extend and embrace" strategy against M$.
This is silly. It's just a gratuitous incompatibility that will break code for no good reason. Do you seriously think that people are going to give up running on Windows so that they can have _ultoa allocate memory for them? The whole point of coding to the Windows API is to run on Windows; if your app is not going to run on Windows there are dozens of much better APIs to choose from.
If the ReactOS guys want to add incompatible extensions that's their choice; but it's a mistake IMO, and it's definitely not something we are going to do in Wine.
