I was about to add 4.9 but then couldn't find a link to post.

The standard appears to say in Section 3.9.1 (basic.fundamental) #5 that the 

"Type wchar_t shall have the same size, signedness, and alignment requirements
(3.11) as one of the other integral types, called its underlying type." 

That's my interpretation from n3337.

Please do take a look.
