Even if so, the documentation should be correct for all cases.

Message handling is one of the most important parts of the LCL, which 
should be well documented. When e.g. window creation or the handling of 
thread message queues differs across platforms, or is otherwise Delphi 
incompatible, such essential items should be documented properly.
