Not jumping into the Unicode debate yet. But I did want to nip this
terminological possibility in the bud. PLEASE do not refer to non-BMP
characters, or char code/units with potentially more that 16 bits of
significance, as "wide". C already uses the term "wide" to distinguish
between 8 and 16 bits of significance in their char datatype, so we should
consider "wide" ruined for any sensible usage.
