My argument is that attaching wideness to
data instead of the code we can make wideness *transparent* without
sacrifying performance for the operations which do not *require*
wideness.
At the abstract level that makes a lot of sense.
It certainly maps better onto Win32 "Unicode" API (not that that should
be taken as proof of its superiority in any way whatsoever).
