Implementation Advice

7/3
If an implementation chooses to provide implementation-defined operations on Wide_Character or Wide_String (such as collating and sorting, etc.) it should do so by providing child units of Wide_Characters. Similarly if it chooses to provide implementation-defined operations on Wide_Wide_Character or Wide_Wide_String it should do so by providing child units of Wide_Wide_Characters.
