You're absolutely right, it is *relevant*. What I meant to say was
that the C standard does not *require* characters other than those in
the basic character set to follow the rule L'c' equals 'c'.

In a previous article, I already stated that I don't really care how
we use 10646 in wchar_t, as long as everybody does it the same way.
