Comment:

 The testing macros need to support any use of built-in wide-characters,
 whether it's `std::wstring`, `wchar_t` arrays or pointers, or single
 `wchar_t` values/objects.  I guess you need a special case to
 `wchar_t`-related types to be converted to `char` before being sent to the
 testing `ostream`.  Code points that are shared between `wchar_t` and
 `char` should map directly, other code point values could map to an
 escaped hex sequence.
