+//! Windows-specific extensions to the primitives in the `std::ffi` module.
+//!
+//! # Overview
+//!
+//! For historical reasons, the Windows API uses a form of potentially
+//! ill-formed UTF-16 encoding for strings. Specifically, the 16-bit
+//! code units in Windows strings may contain [isolated surrogate code
+//! points which are not paired together][ill-formed-utf-16]. The
+//! Unicode standard requires that surrogate code points (those in the
+//! range U+D800 to U+DFFF) always be *paired*, because in the UTF-16
+//! encoding a *surrogate code unit pair* is used to encode a single
+//! character. For compatibility with code that does not enforce
+//! these pairings, Windows does not enforce them, either.
+//!
+//! While it is not always possible to convert such a string losslessly into
+//! a valid UTF-16 string (or even UTF-8), it is often desirable to be
+//! able to round-trip such a string from and to Windows APIs
+//! losslessly. For example, some Rust code may be "bridging" some
+//! Windows APIs together, just passing `WCHAR` strings among those
+//! APIs without ever really looking into the strings.
+//!
+//! If Rust code *does* need to look into those strings, it can
+//! convert them to valid UTF-8, possibly lossily, by substituting
+//! invalid sequences with [`U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER`][U+FFFD], as is
+//! conventionally done in other Rust APIs that deal with string
+//! encodings.
+//!
+//! # `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt`
+//!
+//! [`OsString`] is the Rust wrapper for owned strings in the
+//! preferred representation of the operating system. On Windows,
+//! this struct gets augmented with an implementation of the
+//! [`OsStringExt`] trait, which has a [`from_wide`] method. This
+//! lets you create an [`OsString`] from a `&[u16]` slice; presumably
+//! you get such a slice out of a `WCHAR` Windows API.
+//!
+//! Similarly, [`OsStr`] is the Rust wrapper for borrowed strings from
+//! preferred representation of the operating system. On Windows, the
+//! [`OsStrExt`] trait provides the [`encode_wide`] method, which
+//! outputs an [`EncodeWide`] iterator. You can [`collect`] this
+//! iterator, for example, to obtain a `Vec<u16>`; you can later get a
+//! pointer to this vector's contents and feed it to Windows APIs.
+//!
+//! These traits, along with [`OsString`] and [`OsStr`], work in
+//! conjunction so that it is possible to **round-trip** strings from
+//! Windows and back, with no loss of data, even if the strings are
+//! ill-formed UTF-16.
