I'm curious, what is the reason for the special case handling for MSVC 
and GCC when we have to do the portable way anyway?
(const WCHAR []) cast is not portable (gcc only) and L"string" syntax 
produces
different results on different platforms depending on the compiler's 
builtin
wchar_t size.

I'm aware of that, my question remains: Why do we _additionally_ provide 
two unportable ways when there is a portable one?
