+     - only stateless encodings are supported (such as UTF-8 and EUC-JP, but
+       not ISO-2022 variants),
+     - for each encoding, the number of bytes for a wide character is <= 4.
+       (This maximum is attained for UTF-8, GB18030, EUC-TW.)
+   We define the meaning of mbstate_t as follows:
+     - In mb -> wc direction, mbstate_t's first byte contains the number of
+       buffered bytes (in the range 0..3), followed by up to 3 buffered bytes.
+     - In wc -> mb direction, mbstate_t contains no information. In other
+       words, it is always in the initial state.  */
