We could, but I don't know if it would be helpful (for `canonical_name` as well).[`IPropertyValueStatics::CreateString` calls `WindowsDuplicateString`](), so the fast-pass string would anyway get copied to the heap.

OTOH, `WindowsCreateStringReference` is infallible, and the `WindowsDeleteString` call wouldn't be required (though we'll need to add a `HSTRING_HEADER` declaration):

```c
case DEVPROP_TYPE_STRING:
{
    HSTRING_HEADER hdr;

WindowsCreateStringReference( prop->Buffer, wcslen( prop->Buffer ), &str, &hdr );
    hr = IPropertyValueStatics_CreateString( propval_statics, str, &val );
}
```
