I think it wouldn’t (since UTF-8 mbrtowc/wcrtomb don’t work
this way, and it can’t be done with “just” the POSIX API
anyway because they aren’t allowed to not read any input
byte when outputting (in MirBSD, I’ve added a sister func-
tion to mbrtowc which can do that), so not everything can
be accepted in all situations.
