Hmm, but does that really work safely? I think varstr_cmp() does work,
because it forces our data into wchar format and then calls wcscoll().
The thing that scares me is that various random other operating-system
calls might deliver strings in an unexpected encoding. We've been
through similar problems with timezone names reported by strftime, for
example.
