Well, that seems consistent with what he said. You wouldn't need to call
special routines to  cause a conversion from utf8 to ucs2 or ucs4 if
utf8 were, in fact, equal to one of them. What made you feel the need to
point that out? Normally, unless you have a specific reason for thinking
otherwise, the simple fact that they have different names would imply
that they're probably not equal.

That's only true on implementations that choose to pre#define
__STDC_UTF_16__ or __STDC_UTF_32__, respectively. Otherwise, the
encoding associated with those typedefs is implementation-defined
(6.10.8.2p1). Of course, this is a significant improvement over wchar_t,
for which no such macros are available.
