Please, no.  At least not where Win32 refers to the API.  While this is
called "Windows API" these days, the word Windows alone doesn't really
cut it.  At leats use "Windows API" then, or IMHO even better, use the
informal "WinAPI" abbreviation.

Uhm... example?  I'm not sure what you mean here.

Using comma separated lists within curly braces is the offical
shell way to express alternatives:

  $ echo a.{b,c}
  a.b a.c

Please keep them as is.
