This library and WIL #7

In many ways the Windows Implementation Libraries already provides many modern C++ APIs for Win32.

How does the two play out in the future? Merge/converge?

WIL provides wrappers for the Windows API. This project attempts to provide the actual Windows API definitions. Those are very different concerns. I could certainly imagine WIL relying on this project for those definitions, and developers using them together, but there doesn't appear to be any need to merge them.
