While I generally agree with you, it happens soooo often that something
needed on Windows is removed during the unusedcode.easy cleanup pushing,
that I'd really prefer the #ifdef for the Windows case - so that it
disappears from the unusedcode.easy.  Comments like "// NOTE: this is
important because XY" tend to bitrot over time [just recently I removed
a comment that was referring to something that was gone long ago].

But whatever - I don't think it is necessary to bikeshed over this :-)

All the best,
