I just want to confirm what I've found. It is currently not possible to pass a serial number into HidApi.open, right? I'm not asking for a fix (unless you feel like doing it), but I just want to confirm. It looks like the serial is defined in FFI as an int type, when really it should be a WCHAR pointer. It also looks like the WCHAR implementation currently only supports reading strings not writing them. I have thought about using https://github.com/nthachus/ffi_wide_char, which supports both ways, but that would require reworking all of the string types.

This ended up being super important for my local workflow, so I went ahead and implemented it and changed my original issue to a PR. Let me know if you have any feedback or would like any tweaks made before merging.
