Re: shell32: Implement ordinal 704, also known as GUIDFromStringW.

Hi Hans,

+ 704 stdcall @(wstr ptr) SHELL32_704 # GUIDFromStringW

Out of curiosity, what's the reason for using SHELL32_704 as the name,
instead of GUIDFromStringW?

I just followed a pattern already there in shell32, I don't know the exact
rules that apply here, to be honest.

I neither, I was seeking illumination.  In case there's an absence of
clear rules, I'd suggest the more readable GUIDFromStringW is better.

Stefan Leichter sent a patch in last week to rename SHELL32_526 to its
'pretty' name, 'SHFlushSFCache', see:

If there's a known official name you should use it, and most likely make
it a -noname export.
