POSIX specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/wctype.html

Gnulib module: wctype

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on some platforms: Minix 3.1.8, MSVC 9.
• This function is declared in <wchar.h>, not in <wctype.h>, on some platforms: HP-UX 11.00.
• This function does not support the "blank" character class on some platforms: mingw.
• The object returned by this function for the "blank" character class is inconsistent with the iswblank and isblank functions on some platforms: MSVC 14.
• The object returned by this function for the "punct" character class is inconsistent with the ispunct function on some platforms: Android 11.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• On Windows and 32-bit AIX platforms, wchar_t is a 16-bit type and therefore cannot accommodate all Unicode characters. However, the Gnulib function c32_get_type_test, provided by Gnulib module c32_get_type_test, operates on 32-bit wide characters and therefore does not have this limitation.
