  What was the arguments against it?  My feeling was that "wide" got
some connotation from C world's confusion so I opted different name
"MultiString".  And I still like it.  And I still think MultiString is
not that bad name.  I'm not sure about that the mix the concept of
multi from m17n and multi-byte.  It may sounds like "plural strings",
but not sure.
