Won't this file get clobbered the next time we run UpdateSDK with whatever is really in the SDK?
is this function definition available in a Windows SDK header that we could use / include instead?

Docs say it lives in ntioapi.h which isn't public. Agree, we should minimally move it to a new header (e.g., \generation\WinSDK\AdditionalHeaders\ntioapi.h)
