Because `void*` to pass `HANDLE` around is better how? Maybe if you're able to hermetically seal off platform-specific bits, but usually you'll have two parts that want to talk about Windows API types across their call boundaries…
Sure, but I also prefer talking directly about what you're talking about though. If you have some Windows implementations that need to talk to each other, I'd rather they use HANDLE and HMODULE than "void* winkwinknudgenudge" style things. Hopefully users don't need to include these headers directly (but sometimes they do), but it's still something you need to consider in the APIs and such because while the header might say LoadLibrary, the caller is going to need to include windows.h and deal with the #define anyways.
