--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
This set of functions is just junk from pre-Unicode times. They could possibly
be useful at some point, when the byte size could mean "these bytes will be
written to file"; but now, this has no meaning at all (e.g., the byte size
reported bow is UTF-16, while to most files, UTF-8 is written).

I don't think they need documentation - at all. The less we document, the
easier it would be to change them, if compatibility ever requires.
