    //! Windows-specific extensions to the primitives in the `std::ffi` module.
    //!
    //! # Overview
    //!
    //! For historical reasons, the Windows API uses a form of potentially
    //! ill-formed UTF-16 encoding for strings.  Specifically, the 16-bit
    //! code units in Windows strings may contain [isolated surrogate code
    //! points which are not paired together][ill-formed-utf-16].  The
    //! Unicode standard requires that surrogate code points (those in the
    //! range U+D800 to U+DFFF) always be *paired*, because in the UTF-16
    //! encoding a *surrogate code unit pair* is used to encode a single
    //! character.  For compatibility with code that does not enforce
    //! these pairings, Windows does not enforce them, either.
    //!
    //! While it is not always possible to convert such a string losslessly into
    //! a valid UTF-16 string (or even UTF-8), it is often desirable to be
    //! able to round-trip such a string from and to Windows APIs
    //! losslessly.  For example, some Rust code may be "bridging" some
    //! Windows APIs together, just passing `WCHAR` strings among those
    //! APIs without ever really looking into the strings.
    //!
    //! If Rust code *does* need to look into those strings, it can
    //! convert them to valid UTF-8, possibly lossily, by substituting
    //! invalid sequences with [`U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER`][U+FFFD], as is
    //! conventionally done in other Rust APIs that deal with string
    //! encodings.
    //!
    //! # `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt`
    //!
    //! [`OsString`] is the Rust wrapper for owned strings in the
    //! preferred representation of the operating system.  On Windows,
    //! this struct gets augmented with an implementation of the
    //! [`OsStringExt`] trait, which has a [`from_wide`] method.  This
    //! lets you create an [`OsString`] from a `&[u16]` slice; presumably
    //! you get such a slice out of a `WCHAR` Windows API.
    //!
    //! Similarly, [`OsStr`] is the Rust wrapper for borrowed strings from
    //! preferred representation of the operating system.  On Windows, the
    //! [`OsStrExt`] trait provides the [`encode_wide`] method, which
    //! outputs an [`EncodeWide`] iterator.  You can [`collect`] this
    //! iterator, for example, to obtain a `Vec<u16>`; you can later get a
    //! pointer to this vector's contents and feed it to Windows APIs.
    //!
    //! These traits, along with [`OsString`] and [`OsStr`], work in
    //! conjunction so that it is possible to **round-trip** strings from
    //! Windows and back, with no loss of data, even if the strings are
    //! ill-formed UTF-16.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
