This is the wrong way to be working. We should be dropping support for ASCII
where ever possible now. There's rarely an excuse for TCHAR now, ASCII is
dead this is a unicode operating system. It's time to move on.

I consider ASCII to be quite rude, think about people with non ASCII
languages, they shouldn't have to live by American standards. The sooner
it's eradicated, the better it will be for everyone.

ASCII apis simply convert strings and call the unicode apis.
I hardly think it's worth keeping all our base apps ASCII complaint just as
a possible test case for these APIs
If we want test cases, then it's better to write them
