That paragraph fails in doing that.

And that means std::isalpha, for example, will return true?
Are any other functions affected by that constraint?
Where did we have that constraint previously?
Where is the C++20 normative statement for the edited
footnote in [multibyte.string]?
And does that mean I can't compile a program with an EBCDIC
compiler (producing EBCDIC literal encoding) and then
running it in an ASCII environment? Or does that just
mean certain functions won't work on literals as
expected, e.g. std::isalpha('a') might not return true?

Where do we say that in the C++20 wording?
