-	// To use UTF-8 code page on Windows 10 version 1903 and later, the
-	// active code page has to be set to UTF-8 in the application manifest
-	// and UCRT-specific setlocale(LC_ALL, ".UTF8") must be called. The
-	// manifest makes argv[] use UTF-8 (which setlocale() cannot affect)
-	// and the special setlocale() call makes mbrtowc() and such functions
-	// use UTF-8. (It's weird why regular setlocale(LC_ALL, "") doesn't
-	// use the code page from the application manifest.)
-	//
-	// The two things have quite a bit of overlap though. For example,
-	// both affect the code page used in the file system APIs. Thus,
-	// if argv[] isn't in UTF-8, using setlocale() to set UTF-8 will
-	// break non-ASCII filenames that have been passed as command line
-	// arguments. Thus, it's best to set an UTF-8 locale only when
-	// the active code page is UTF-8.
-	//
-	// NOTE: Only UCRT supports the UTF-8 locale string, thus this
-	// will fail with MSVCRT if the active code page is UTF-8. That
-	// shouldn't be too bad because UTF-8 doesn't work properly with
-	// MSVCRT anyway.
