+/* In GNU libc the conversion functions only can convert between the
+ fixed wide character representation and the multibyte
+ representation of the same character set. Since we use ISO 10646
+ in UCS4 encoding for wide characters the best solution for
+ multibyte characters is the UTF8 encoding. I.e., the only state
+ information is a counter of the processed bytes so far and the
+ value collected so far. Especially, we don't have different shift
+ states. */
