how large a buffer to pass as the third argument.
All right, maybe I should have been a bit more clear :-) AFAIK the use of
`TCHAR` is something that allows the programmer to switch between Unicode
(in Windows parlance) and ASCII at compile time. If the "W functions" are
used explicitly I think it'd be better to also use `wchar_t` explicitly
rather than hide them behind `TCHAR`s.
According to Wikipedia "unicode" means UTF-16 on Windows, so allowing up
to 4 bytes per character will be enough, though likely a bit wasteful.
