    Problem Text
    We wish to establish that with the final MSE now published and incorporated
    in UNIX98 that conforming to the MSE in its final ISO form is a benefit to the
    application community and that minor faults such as the above where an
    additional symbol is visable is viewed as acceptable in UNIX95 branding as
    implementations conform to the ISO MSE which was only a draft when incorporated
    into XPG4 (UNIX95). This also shows support for the replacement UNIX98 brand that
    has now updated to the final ISO MSE and implementations should be allowed
    waivers of this nature while migrating to support UNIX98.
    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/XPG4.hdr/misc/wchar/T.wchar 43 Failed

    Test Description:
    When _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined and no other feature test macros except
    _POSIX_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE=1 or _POSIX_C_SOURCE=2 are defined,
    no
    other symbols than those defined or reserved by the XPG are made
    visible.

    Test Strategy:
    FOR each unreserved struct/union member made visible by the header
    DEFINE a macro which will cause an error if not protected from
    expansion
    UNDEFINE those macros which correspond to allowed member names
    INCLUDE a copy of the header file modified to identify #defines
    FOR each unreserved symbol made visible by the header
    VERIFY that the symbol name is in a list of allowed names
