Hi Dan and others,
if you really insist on the old behaviour, the closest you can get to it is
this...

Put the following lines just after the include for win32lib.ew ...

   object whocares
   whocares = classDefaults(Window, {{CCflags,0}})

The rest of your code remains unchanged except for create(Window, ..., 0).
Any of these, you should change to

   win = create(Window, ..., WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW)

Yes it will.

And I'd rather the function had consistent behaviour with all controls.

And yet another idea to get around this idealogical impass, how about having
two functions like create(), one that behaves in the manner you are
describing, and the other just using the default flags.

   win = createStyledControl(<controltype>,
                       <caption>,
                       <parent>,
                       <left>,<top>,<width>,<height>,
                       {<styleflags, extendedstyleflags}>
                       )

   win = createControl(<controltype>,
                       <caption>,
                       <parent>,
                       <left>,<top>,<width>,<height>
                       )
