Subject: lacuna in iswctype and towctrans
Consider the calls:
iswctrans (c, wctype (property)) towctrans (c, wctrans (property))where property is not valid in the current locale. The wctype and wctrans functions return zero, but the behaviour of iswctype and towctrans is not specified.
I believe it would be useful - and considered natural - for them to return 0 ("c does not have this property") and c ("c is unaffected by this mapping") respectively.
Append to 7.25.2.2.1#4:
If desc is zero, the iswctype function returns zero (false).
Append to 7.25.3.2.1#4:
If desc is zero, the towctrans function returns the value of wc.
