I've been ignoring this because I wasn't assigned...

Here's the options. If we make it load ucrtbase.dll directly (which does still 
have named exports, and also uses the API schema on Windows 10):
* some code that uses it will need updating (due to API changes since VC9/VC10)
* code may need to change depending on OS updated (which could change the 
ucrtbase exports)
* much existing code using this will probably work

If we leave it as is:
* all existing uses will obviously fail, nothing subtle
* users will either substitute the name themselves, find an equivalent stdlib 
function, or use a supported Windows API

Having just written that out, I still think not supporting it is best, but I do 
need to write it up in the porting info still. Any other thoughts?
