--  This generic package provides utility routines for converting from an

--  encoded string to a corresponding Wide_String or Wide_Wide_String value

--  using a specified encoding convention, which is supplied as the generic

--  parameter. UTF-8 is handled especially efficiently, and if the encoding

--  method is known at compile time to be WCEM_UTF8, then the instantiation

--  is specialized to handle only the UTF-8 case and exclude code for the

--  other encoding methods. The package also provides positioning routines

--  for skipping encoded characters in either direction, and for validating

--  strings for correct encodings.

--  Note: this package is only about decoding sequences of 8-bit characters

--  into corresponding 16-bit Wide_String or 32-bit Wide_Wide_String values.

--  It knows nothing at all about the character encodings being used for the

--  resulting Wide_Character and Wide_Wide_Character values. Most often this

--  will be Unicode/ISO-10646 as specified by the Ada RM, but this package

--  does not make any assumptions about the character coding. See also the

--  packages Ada.Wide_[Wide_]Characters.Unicode for unicode specific functions.

--  Note on the use of brackets encoding (WCEM_Brackets). The brackets encoding

--  method is ambiguous in the context of this package, since there is no way

--  to tell if ["1234"] is eight unencoded characters or one encoded character.

--  In the context of Ada sources, any sequence starting [" must be the start

--  of an encoding (since that sequence is not valid in Ada source otherwise).

--  The routines in this package use the same approach. If the input string

--  contains the sequence [" then this is assumed to be the start of a brackets

--  encoding sequence, and if it does not match the syntax, an error is raised.

--  In the case of the Prev functions, a sequence ending with "] is assumed to

--  be a valid brackets sequence, and an error is raised if it is not.

   --  of the string for this call (in which case on return it will point to

   --  WCEM_Brackets). For all other encodings, we work by starting at the

   --  beginning of the string and moving forward till Ptr is reached, which

   --  is correct but slow.
