First, thanks for your work: if I understand well, on 11.11, and default
for -munix, we have obtained a clean wchar_t testsuite: great!

Unfortunately, I have trouble understanding the details of your concerns:
hopefully, someone else will give you more meaningful advice. My naive
impression is that the new, documented, default, cannot be really dangerous,
by itself and the same for well documented new options. Also, if I
understand well, those options (93, 95, that is) can only lead to a behavior
similar to what we had before your patch... On the other hand, if this is
not the case, in my opinion you could work on adding that possibility.

Thanks again,
Paolo.
