After working around Win32Window externalType with light surgery (in plain
English, this translates to heavy butchery), the next hurdle is that
    (Win32Window on: Win32Window getFocus) getDC.
will trigger an Error (could not coerce arguments).
I cannot pass a Win32Window to <apicall: Win32HDC 'GetDC' (Win32Window)
module: 'user32.dll'>
I cannot pass its value either...
I'm really stuck here.
Most of my FFI stuff rely on using type aliases and is currently
dysfunctional, so having a basic example working might be helpful...
