And another question: AFAIU, an LGSTRING specifies characters as
Unicode codepoints, while the Windows Uniscribe APIs expect wchar_t
wide characters, which on Windows means UTF-16.  This means we should
encode the codepoints in LGSTRINGs to UTF-16 before passing them to
Uniscribe, rather than passing them unaltered, right?  The current
code will break for characters whose Unicode codepoints are beyond the
BMP, right?
