That's a misunderstanding.  They are intentionally identical in user mode.

...because...???

Anyway, they *are* identical from the Cygwin DLL point of view.  The
calls are the same.  They don't point to different entry points in user
mode.  So it's just a point of taste how to call these functions.

The following is my taste:

IMHO, we should use the Nt calls.  When I first introduced usage of
native NT calls I called them NtXXX since that the name of the function
is sort of self explaining.  IMHO.
