no problem with these as well.

Note that regardless of whether the going to(from) UTF-8 from(to)
wchar_t or multibyte, character set translation may be needed.

NULL should imply no character set translation.  That is that
a wchar_t holds a Unicode character (UCS-2/4) and a
multiple byte is some multiple byte Unicode transform
(UTF-1/8/16).
