Macro @IsConsole

Description

Hi all!
Sometimes there's need to distinguish, is a script compiled as Console or
GUI Application. For example, having compiled our script as GUI app we won't see any output from ConsoleWrite/ConsoleWriteError, so we should use MsgBox or smth other way.
Thus such macro I'd like to offer could be rather useful.
Thank you for attention!

Now we need macros for everything. This can be achieved easily without any macro.

If IsConsole() Then
        ConsoleWrite('Yayyy! I am a console application.' & @CRLF)
Else
        MsgBox(0, 'Yayyy!', 'I am a GUI application.')
EndIf

Func IsConsole()
        If Not @Compiled Then Return SetError(1, 0, Null)

Yes that, or simpler: always use CW() in place of ConsoleWrite() like this:

Func CW($s = "")
        If @Compiled Then
                _CUI_ConsoleWrite($s)
        Else
                _ConsoleWrite($s)
        EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>CW

Func _CUI_ConsoleWrite(ByRef $s)
        Local Static $hDll = DllOpen("kernel32.dll")
        Local Static $hCon = __CUI_ConsoleInit($hDll)
        DllCall($hDll, "bool", "WriteConsoleW", "handle", $hCon, "wstr", $s & @LF, "dword", StringLen($s) + 1, "dword*", 0, "ptr", 0)
        Return
EndFunc   ;==>_CUI_ConsoleWrite

; internal use only
Func __CUI_ConsoleInit(ByRef $hDll)
        DllCall($hDll, "bool", "AllocConsole")
;~      The following 2 lines don't work for compiled scripts due to a MS bug
;~              see last post in thread https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/setconsoleoutputcpcp-utf8-results-in-code-page-850/413190
;~              where MS support acknowledges it's a (still unfixed) bug in Windows itself
;~              So you can only display current locale codepage using current console font in a console when your script is compiled
;~              When running your script from SciTE, the UTF8 setting of SciTE overrides this bug and Unicode can be displayed
;~      DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "bool", "SetConsoleCP", "uint", 65001)
;~      DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "bool", "SetConsoleOutputCP", "uint", 65001)
        Return DllCall($hDll, "handle", "GetStdHandle", "int", -11)[0]
EndFunc   ;==>__CUI_ConsoleInit

; Unicode-aware ConsoleWrite
Func _ConsoleWrite(ByRef $s)
        ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString(StringToBinary($s & @LF, 4), 1))
EndFunc   ;==>_ConsoleWrite

Works for CUI or GUI, compiled or not.

Ok, let there be built-in function IsConsole(), why no?
As for examples above I've got my own functions which are almost th same :)
