I was waiting for Tatsuo to comment on it --- he's certainly the
best-qualified person.  But in any case I was expecting it would be
held for 8.1.  Even if it's fine as far as the MB code itself goes,
I don't think we can assume that the rest of the system is good to
go with wide characters wider than we have tested before.  (Example:
before 7.4 the regex code was definitely unable to handle chars wider
than 16 bits.  I think it would be all right now, but it's untested.)
