Don't talk such a nonsense.  Combining characters and surogates are
not at all comparable.  The functions which have to handle character
properties with wchar_t can and should expect precomposed input
somthing which is not at all possible with UTF-16.  But why discussing
all this?  There will be no first order 16bit UCS2/UTF-16 support.
