I'm supposing the alternative would be to make the wctype module smarter,
and implement the CX shading in POSIX that says that <wctype.h> is allowed
to pull in all of <wchar.h>.  Then gnulib modules should only ever need to
include <wctype.h> and not worry about <wchar.h>, regardless of whether
the platform's wctype.h opted not to pull in wchar.h.
