I think it might be better to say something like, `on Windows/x64 the returned layout might be as follows...` and then you write the code to create the layout instance corresponding to the returned layout. But we have to be careful to make the text non-normative (as the set of values might change).

What about adding something like this?


Here is a list of valid names for some platforms:
    Linux:
        "errno"
    macOS:
        "errno"
    Windows:
        "GetLastError", "WSAGetLastError" and "errno"
