Comment:

 I second this request, although not in relation to `file_mapping` but to
 `windows_shared_memory`. I have my local code using wide-character Windows
 API everywhere and `windows_shared_memory` is the only place where I
 cannot do that.

 Another rationale for moving away from the ANSI APIs is that they are not
 available on all Windows versions. They also use the unspecified ANSI code
 page to convert multibyte strings to UTF-16 (in my code I use UTF-8 for
 multibyte strings).
