Summary: new _Launch module includes useless deprecated functions

Initial Comment:
You should blacklist LSInit and LSTerm, both are deprecated 
and should never be used.

Bob, please keep bug reports to exactly one topic per report. I'm 
not going to implement the suggestion of allowing None for 
OSType '\0\0\0\0' right now, but feel free to add a feature request.

I think the original bug and your followon are now both fixed, if 
not please reopen the bug and provide details.

_Launch.LSGetApplicationForInfo should allow None (translated to 
NULL) for inType and inCreator (both are OSType).  Currently you 
need to pass '\x00'*4 .. which sucks.

It seems that Universal Headers 3.4 is also missing a bunch of 
useful constants, like kLSItemInfoExtensionIsHidden

Hopefully you'll move the scanner over to OS X headers sooner 
than later

LSInit and LSTerm are gone in 1.2. The others will have to wait 
until we switch from parsing Universal Headers 3.4 to parsing 
native OSX headers (bug 779153).

It's also missing:
LSGetExtensionInfo [mostly a dupe of os.path.splitext, but might 
be nice to have]
LSCopyDisplayNameForRef [these are a must have]
LSCopyDisplayNameForURL
LSSetExtensionHiddenForRef [these would be nice]
LSSetExtensionHiddenForURL
LSCopyKindStringForTypeInfo [these are a must have]
LSCopyKindStringForMIMEType
LSCopyApplicationForMIMEType
LSFindApplicationForInfo [nice to have have, I think it's a subset of 
LSGetApplicationForInfo though]
-- new things in 10.3 that might be nice to have --
LSRegisterURL
LSRegisterFSRef
LSCopyApplicationURLsForURL
everything in UTType.h
