We originally intended to support "Wide_Claw" with the obvious semantics.
But there was virtually no interest in it, so in the end we didn't bother to
implement it. (One question I've always had was whether mixed programs
actually worked; the Microsoft APIs appear to assume all one or all the
other - which is easy to support in Claw or anything else for that matter.)
