Does it work as a drop-in replacement for unixy utf/wchar 
implementations or is it the Plan9 variant (reference to Runes implies 
the later)? I found myself needing at first libwchar from heirloom and 
later the (old) GNU libutf8 under APE to provide some wchar-related 
functions expected by various applications.

It felt really silly to "devolve" like that.
