Wait a minute.  I was just stumbling around the header files
and found this in <machine/_stdint.h>

#ifndef WCHAR_MIN /* Also possibly defined in <wchar.h> */
/* Limits of wchar_t. */
#define WCHAR_MIN       INT32_MIN
#define WCHAR_MAX       INT32_MAX
 
/* Limits of wint_t. */
#define WINT_MIN        INT32_MIN
#define WINT_MAX        INT32_MAX
#endif


Is this stuff in the correct place?
Does it need to be duplicated in <wchar.h>?

I agree.
