Or shall simply go along with CESU-8 when converting back to multibyte
to keep the string the same as with wcstombs?
There are 15 * SMP as BMP characters, so many non-Western and emoji
characters will be expanded from 4 UTF-8 bytes to 6 CESU-8 bytes, and this
is not supported anywhere as a string representation, designed for internal
use only per the TR.
We're only talking about invalid sequences, not using CESU-8 throughout.
That was not clear, so then as they say "go along to get along"? ;^>
