If the "Close" function is not in the current namespace, we must search all namespaces for it. Example: EventLogHandle is defined in Windows.Win32.WindowsProgramming, but CloseEventLog is defined in Windows.Win32.WindowsServices

RAIIFree("CloseEventLog")]
struct EventLogHandle...

Option one: use qualified names:

RAIIFree("Windows.Win32.WindowsServices.CloseEventLog")
struct EventLogHandle...

Option 2: keep strongly typed handles and "Close" functions in the same namespace.

Other examples: EventSourceHandle, HeapHandle, HCOLORSPACE, HCURSOR, HICON
