I don't see how that can be right.  iswprint(3) takes a wint_t argument;
the UTF-8 character will be a sequence of 1-4 bytes.  Even if you redefine
the argument, how is ls(1) supposed to know where the character boundaries
are?  

It's my understanding that "wide characters" refer to a class of encodings
that predate Unicode and UTF-8.  New times, new features....
