Python 3 does not skip names in __all__ that start with an underscore. 

wintypes in 2.x uses `from ctypes import *`, so it needs to define __all__. In 3.x it uses `import ctypes`, so it doesn't define __all__, and the private names _COORD, _FILETIME, _LARGE_INTEGER, _POINTL, _RECTL, _SMALL_RECT, and _ULARGE_INTEGER are skipped by a star import. That said, why are these private names (and also "tag" names) defined? And why isn't COORD defined instead of or in addition to _COORD?
