  32 --  This generic package provides utility routines for converting from
  33 --  Wide_String or Wide_Wide_String to encoded String using a specified
  34 --  encoding convention, which is supplied as the generic parameter. If
  35 --  this parameter is a known at compile time constant (e.g. a constant
  36 --  defined in System.WCh_Con), the instantiation is specialized so that
  37 --  it applies only to this specified coding.
  38
  39 --  Note: this package is only about encoding sequences of 16- or 32-bit
  40 --  characters into a sequence of 8-bit codes. It knows nothing at all about
  41 --  the character encodings being used for the input Wide_Character and
  42 --  Wide_Wide_Character values, although some of the encoding methods (notably
  43 --  JIS and EUC) have built in assumptions about the range of possible input
  44 --  code values. Most often the input will be Unicode/ISO-10646 as specified by
  45 --  the Ada RM, but this package does not make any assumptions about the
  46 --  character coding, and in the case of UTF-8 all possible code values can be
  47 --  encoded. See also the packages Ada.Wide_[Wide_]Characters.Unicode for
  48 --  unicode specific functions.
  49
  50 --  Note on brackets encoding (WCEM_Brackets). On input, upper half characters
  51 --  can be represented as ["hh"] but the routines in this package will only use
  52 --  brackets encodings for codes higher than 16#FF#, so upper half characters
  53 --  will be output as single Character values.
