I was thinking for HP-UX, char32_t would be the same as wchar_t.
If we need a mangling that treats it differently, we probably need to
add some rationale words saying why we have w, c, a, h and now k/q.

I would think we would want to use something like W# just so we preserve
the one letter combinations.
