/**
 * Copy a memory segment to another, possibly overlapping, segment,
 * stop when a NUL wide character is encountered.
 * 
 * This is a slibc extension added for completeness.
 * It is only available if GNU extensions are available.
 * 
 * @param   whither  The destination memory segment.
 * @param   whence   The source memory segment.
 * @param   maxlen   The maximum number of wide characters to copy.
 *                   NOTE that if the resulting string at least this
 *                   long, no NUL character will be written to `whither'.
 *                   On the otherhand, if the resultnig string is
 *                   shorter, `whither` will be filled with NUL characters
 *                   until this amount of characters have been written.
 * @return           `whither` plus the number of written characters,
 *                   excluding NUL characters, is returned.
