  32 --  This package contains generic subprograms used for converting between
  33 --  sequences of Character and Wide_Character. Wide_Wide_Character values
  34 --  are also handled, but represented using integer range types defined in
  35 --  this package, so that this package can be used from applications that
  36 --  are restricted to Ada 95 compatibility (such as the compiler itself).
  37
  38 --  All the algorithms for encoding and decoding are isolated in this package
  39 --  and in System.WCh_JIS and should not be duplicated elsewhere. The only
  40 --  exception to this is that GNAT.Decode_String and GNAT.Encode_String have
  41 --  their own circuits for UTF-8 conversions, for improved efficiency.
  42
  43 --  This unit may be used directly from an application program by providing
  44 --  an appropriate WITH, and the interface can be expected to remain stable.
