Description
A/W message constants such as LVM_FINDITEMA and LVM_FINDITEMW are present, with unsuffixed LVM_FINDITEM, but do not appear to carry [Ansi] / [Unicode] metadata. Is this intentional because they are constants rather than callable APIs, or should A/W constants/macros also be annotated for projections?
