The code to emit the escape sequence to get back to the initial state is
interesting. The @code{wcsrtombs} function can be used to determine the
necessary output code (@pxref{Converting Strings}). Please note that on
GNU systems it is not necessary to perform this extra action for the
conversion from multibyte text ot wide character text since the wide
character encoding is not stateful. But there is nothing mentioned in
any standard which prohibits making @code{wchar_t} using a stateful
encoding.
