I just worry about the vast number of new macros you're defining.  Are
they going to be enabled only for C++ so C doesn't have to carry the
baggage?  Are they really necessary (e.g. how does Dinkumware handle
it since they don't control a compiler)?

Signedness of wchar_t is easily tested with if () or #if, for example;
a macro is quite redundant.
