Seems like a good idea.

Small note, POSIX.1-2024 doesn't includes C.UTF-8, there were discussions
but it happened too closely to release time for the work to be done:

- https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=663#c1669 (comment seeking it)
- https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1548 (dedicated bug)

Also ISO C got a proposal (no idea about it's accepted status) about it:
