Are there any proposals about future extensions to Standard C that will
allow the programmer to use ISO 10646/Unicode strings as easily as
char []?

Will wchar_t be fixed to UCS-2 or will the standard commitees introduce two 
new char types e.g.

   ucs2_t     for the 16-bit ISO 10646 BMP (also known as Unicode)
   ucs4_t     for the full 32-bit ISO 10646 code

together with new string constant notations for both of them and a lot
of new library functions for arrays of these new types? (I'd prefer 
introducing two new types a lot!)

Will C programs be allowed to be UCS-2 files in addition to ASCII files
which would make entering Unicode characters in string constants and
comments as easy as ASCII characters today?

What will be the new equivalent of \0? \x0000 or \ffff or another special
character?
