// Defines wcsncmp(), which compares two wide character strings, determining
// their ordinal order.  The function tests at most 'count' characters.
//
// Note that the comparison is performed with unsigned elements (wchar_t is
// unsigned in this implementation), so the null character (0) is less than
// all other characters.
//
// Returns:
//  * a negative value if a  < b
//  * zero             if a == b
//  * a positive value if a  > b
//
