BUGS The current implementation of wcsxfrm() only works in single-byte LC_CTYPE locales, and falls back to using wcsncpy() in locales with extended character sets. Comparing two strings using wcscmp() after wcsxfrm() is not always equivalent to comparison with wcscoll(); wcsxfrm() only stores information about primary collation weights into dst, whereas wcscoll() compares characters using both primary and secondary weights.
