// (UTF-16) and char32_t (UTF-32). Nonetheless, within this code base:
// * char and std::string always hold UTF-8 (of which ASCII is a subset). It
//   is a BUG if they are used to pass strings in any other multi-byte
//   encoding.
// * wchar_t and std::wstring should be our interface to Windows wide-string
//   APIs, and therefore hold UTF-16LE.
// * U16 and llutf16string are the previous but DEPRECATED UTF-16LE type. Do
//   not introduce new uses of U16 or llutf16string for string data.
// * llwchar and LLWString hold UTF-32 strings.
// * Do not introduce char16_t or std::u16string.
