This is actually an earlier change, but the prototype of scm_getc is now
different from that in 1.8.  Presumably, this means that it’s not
source-compatible with 1.8, e.g., on platforms where
sizeof (int) < sizeof (scm_t_wchar), right?

Were these changes intended?

Is the locale part of the API?  That is, should programs that use
regexps explicitly ask for a locale with 8-bit encoding?

Thanks,
