Another difference is that Samuel's patch supports platforms on which

I don't know if there are many/any such platforms but it does support them!
I know Cygwin is such a platform, and suspect that mingw is too
(although I didn't actually check) - in general, Windows picked wchar_t
to be 2 bytes, which is incompatible with full Unicode support requiring
4-byte wchar_t, and hence explaining why C11 introduced char16_t and
char32_t to work around the legacy mess that wchar_t causes.
