That might be true for Solaris X. Fortunately it is not true for
XFree86. In XFree86, adding the keyword "use_stdc_enc" to an
XLC_LOCALE file will make Xlib distinguish correctly between
Xlib-internal faked wchar_t values and real (libc compatible) wchar_t
values. Still the wchar_t type must be large enough to hold the 16
bits for an EUC character, but that's not a problem nowadays.
