Maybe we can, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

// at global scope
struct FILETIME;
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) void __stdcall 
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(FILETIME*);

namespace winapi
{
    struct FILETIME { ... };

    inline void GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( FILETIME * p )
    {
        ::GetSystemTimeAsFileTime( (::FILETIME*)p );
    }
}
