Is there an easy way to test if a multibyte string contains only
singlebyte characters and thus can be passed to a function expecting a
"regular" char*?  Is "if (strlen(mbs)==mblen(mbs))" a valid test and
is there anything better?

Why aren't there wchar_t versions of functions like atoi() strtod()?
Do they just have to be converted to multibyte strings, and do atoi(),
etc. work with multibyte strings?

Btw, VC++4's docs say that if mbstowcs()'s wchar_t* destination
argument is NULL then the function doesn't do a conversion of the
multibyte string; it just returns the size needed to store the
multibyte string.  Accepting a NULL first argument is not required by
Standard C, is it?  Also, the VC++4 docs seem to indicate fputws(), a
wchar_t version of fputs(), is "ANSI" compatible.  Standard C doesn't
actually specify any wide-character i/o functions, does it?
