 No, this wouldn't work neither with the original proposal to make wxChar a
class. So this proposal is probably a bad idea and it would probably be
better to keep wxChar as a simple type and, as we decided to set
wxUSE_UNICODE to 1 for the Unix/UTF-8 build, it should be just a typedef
for wchar_t. Then the above would still compile and work as expected. I'll
update the wiki page accordingly.
