That's hilarious. Well, not to hilarious when you see stuff like that in
serios code. The other day I got DirectX6 and forcefeedback SDK from
MSDN installed to take a look at its API. I found some funny #defines
with usage of _ and __ in symbols in the headers and lots other strange
things. I guess it's a totally different coding culture among Win32
developers.
