IIRC, this question was asked at one of the committee meetings, and the 
answer was "yes". It may have been Sun, although I'm not sure.

The rationale was simply that the compiler predated Unicode.

Presumably the vendor will continue with their current encoding for 
wchar_t, and use Unicode encodings for char16_t and char32_t strings.
