Why? There's exactly one system where this makes any sense at all. I agree it
would be nice to have such functions there, but bringing the burden to every
single other system to also have them seems too much to me. They could simply
be an extension provided by compilers in that OS, and would not make the code
any worse given people already need to #if for fopen() / wfopen().
I'd argue that standardising std::u16print() would be more useful.
