We will create these compatibility aliases, but let's please stick to our rules for new functions. We've already agreed on them once, and it would be very important to aim to some direction I've been talking about just a day ago and which I miss from many Windows specific parts in Harbour. It would look quite strange to forgot about these rules as soon as we'd actually apply them in practice. "CreateObject" and also "GetActiveObject" are so vague, that it's quite easy to collide with them. Moreover, it's useful to see where a function comes from, especially when those functions are non-portable ones. WIN_ signals that clearly, these names by themselves don't.
