Cannot work (at least without patching) : it gets undef'ed by ncurses:

#undef NCURSES_WIDECHAR
#if defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED) || defined(_XPG5)
#define NCURSES_WIDECHAR
#endif

But this test from ncurses is weird. My understanding of the feature
macros like _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is that they should be *defined* by
the program/library that wants to use the specific features hidden
behind this macro. This is what
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Feature-Test-Macros.html
explains.

So why is ncurses *testing* this?
